"Peregrine Lunar Lander's Fiery Reentry Ends Historic Mission"

Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander, the first U.S. lander bound for the Moon since 1972, ended its mission in a fiery reentry into Earth's atmosphere after encountering a propulsion system issue less than a day after its launch. Despite the setback, valuable data was gained from the mission, including in-space photos and successful power-up of NASA-provided science instruments. The lander's unfortunate end marked the conclusion of the first Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) mission, with NASA and Astrobotic set to host a teleconference to discuss the mission's outcomes.
