PRIMARY SOURCE

Astrobotic's review-board teleconference on its Peregrine Mission One (January 2024). The mission failed: a propellant leak shortly after launch left the lander unable to reach the Moon, and it was steered to a controlled reentry and burned up.

Launched 2024-01-08 (Vulcan Centaur). Propellant leak detected hours after separation due to faulty valve seal; lander could not achieve lunar orbit. Mission ended 2024-01-18 with controlled reentry over South Pacific. Never attempted landing. NASA CLPS payload provider; 20 payloads aboard. Astrobotic determined root cause: oxidizer isolation valve failure in propulsion system. Company received $45M milestone payment from NASA despite failure.
