On January 8, 2024 the Astrobotic Mission One for the Peregrine spacecraft flawlessly launched atop a United Launch Alliance new Vulcan rocket but unfortunately shortly after launch and after the spacecraft reported in without any issues, an anomaly occurred which doomed the mission. The root cause has now been identified.

Yesterday at the 39th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Ottawa’s Mission Control and Pittsburgh based Astrobotic Technology announced a partnership that will see the Astrobotic lunar CubeRover use the Mission Control Spacefarer operations platform.

Astrobotic continues to report updates on its Peregrine spacecraft including noon Eastern today where it stated that the spacecraft has 52 hours of propellant remaining.

The launch of the United Launch Alliance new Vulcan rocket carrying the Astrobotic Peregrine spacecraft at 2:18 a.m. ET was flawless. And approximately two hours later Astrobotic issued a press release saying that they had “successfully contacted the lander and began receiving telemetry. ” Everything seemed fine, but the next update several hours brought to light an anomaly that appears to have put the landing in …

NASA may be headed towards a big strategic win in the next few months. With the scheduled launch of Astrobotic’s Peregrine Mission One on January 8th, and the coming Intuitive Machines IM-1 mission scheduled for mid-February, the agency could see the vindication of its long-term strategy for lunar mission privatization, and take another step towards a permanent American presence on the Moon.

After years of preparation, planning and patience, Pittsburgh’s Astrobotic Technology is finally set to go to the Moon.

NASA is counting on Astrobotic’s CubeRover’s batteries and electronics to survive the frigid lunar night, where temperatures can plummet as low as – 200 C. This page is for subscribers only.
