One busted valve led to the failure of Astrobotic's $108M Peregrine lunar lander mission | TechCrunch
Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander failed due to a faulty valve; future missions will have redesigned propulsion systems with added redundancy.
Moment before doomed Peregrine's mission ends in reentry of Earth
The private lunar lander, Peregrine One, ended its mission with a fiery re-entry into Earth following a failed flight to the moon.
Astrobotic, the NASA contractor behind the project, plans to investigate the explosive rupture that caused the fuel leak and deviation from the intended course.
Peregrine, a Private U.S. Moon Lander, Burns Up in Earth's Atmosphere
Astrobotic intentionally caused its lunar lander, Peregrine, to break apart in Earth's atmosphere after a critical malfunction.
The malfunction was likely due to a valve failure that caused a fuel leak, but engineers were able to stabilize the spacecraft.
Despite the malfunction, Peregrine exceeded expectations by extending its operations through quick thinking and the dwindling leak.
Astrobotic's Peregrine Lander Is Making a Fiery Re-Entry to Earth Right Now
The Peregrine lander from Astrobotic had a propulsion system failure and had to be destroyed before reaching the Moon's surface.
Astrobotic had a contract with NASA to transport scientific instruments to the Moon as part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program.
Ailing Peregrine Moon Lander Is on Course to Crash into Earth
The private moon lander Peregrine, which suffered a fuel leak after launch, is now on a collision course with Earth.
The lander's fuel leak doomed its chances of soft-landing on the moon next month.
Astrobotic is currently assessing options to salvage the spacecraft.
Peregrine moon lander heads back toward Earth and should burn up in the atmosphere
The Astrobotic Peregrine lander, which suffered a propellant leak, is now expected to burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
The mission was to be the first time an American company sent a spacecraft to the moon in more than 50 years.
