The 'Vulcan' rocket, built by Boeing and Lockheed Martin's 'United Launch Alliance' (ULA), lifted off from the space station at 2:18 a.m. (718 GMT) from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
What derailed the historic takeoff? Hours after takeoff, Astrobotic began reporting technical troubles. It first said it was unable to orient the lander's top-mounted solar panel toward the Sun in order to maintain charge on its onboard battery.
