Astrobotic’s Peregrine Lander Hit by Critical Propulsion Issue on Flight to the Moon

NASA is evaluating the impact on the missions scientific goals and stays dedicated to supporting Astrobotic in dealing with the issue.Carrying NASA science prepared for the Moon, United Launch Alliance successfully released its Vulcan rocket and Astrobotics lunar lander early Monday morning.”NASA is working with Astrobotic to determine effect to the agencys 5 science investigations aboard the businesss Peregrine Mission One spacecraft.”Copies of four of the NASA payloads aboard Peregrine are expected to fly on future flights including the Laser Retroreflector Array, Near-Infrared Volatile Spectrometer System, Neutron Spectrometer System, and Linear Energy Transfer Spectrometer.
