Astrobotic's lander didn't make it to the Moon because of a failed valve

Astrobotic's Peregrine lander failed due to a valve malfunction leading to a propellant tank burst; fixes are planned for future missions.

Astrobotic details schedule pressure in Peregrine postmortem

The Peregrine lander's failure was primarily due to issues surrounding the helium pressure control valve.
Complexities in the development and testing phases led to critical decisions impacting the mission's safety.
Transparency in reporting failures can help improve future mission planning and risk assessments.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NASA science bound for Moon aboard Vulcan Centaur rocket

United Launch Alliance (ULA) successfully launched the first Vulcan rocket.
The Vulcan Centaur has experienced development problems and delays.

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.

Nasa Peregrine 1: US lander will not make it to moon's surface due to fuel leak

The first moon lander to launch from the US in half a century will not make it to the lunar surface due to a fuel leak.
The goal now is to travel as far as possible before losing power.

Nasa hands over control as new era of moon missions readies for lift-off

NASA is handing over control of a lunar mission to a private company, Astrobotic, marking a turning point in space exploration.
Under NASA's commercial lunar payload services initiative, private companies are being funded to build spacecraft and deliver cargo to the moon.

A Physical Dogecoin Could Reach the Moon in December

Astrobotic plans to send a physical Dogecoin token to the moon as part of its payload mission in 2023.
The Dogecoin community funded the mission in 2015.
The same mission will also carry a physical bitcoin token and a copy of the Genesis Block.
