"Peregrine Moon Lander to Burn Up in Earth's Atmosphere After Failed Mission"

TL;DR Summary
The private Peregrine moon lander, built by Astrobotic, was set to soft-land on the moon next month but a fuel leak has derailed its mission, putting it on a collision course with Earth. Despite efforts to stabilize the spacecraft, it is expected to crash into Earth's atmosphere no earlier than Thursday. The mission, which aimed to send NASA experiments and commercial payloads to the lunar surface, has been a part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payloads Services program. Astrobotic officials, alongside NASA, are working to estimate where the spacecraft will collide with Earth and are scheduled to hold a press conference on Thursday to discuss the mission.
