Astrobotic on Monday said its Peregrine lunar lander experienced an issue after successfully launching from Florida early in the morning. This is one of many Moon missions that have not gone well.
NASA has launched five payloads to the Moon aboard Astrobotic s Peregrine lander, marking the inaugural mission under NASA s CLPS initiative. Dr. Sharad Bhaskaran, an Indian-origin professional, serves as the mission director at Astrobotic. Formerly with Lockheed Martin, he manages the engineering team. This mission follows Israel s Space IL attempt in 2019 and features significant milestones, including the first U.S. lunar landing in over 50 years and the maiden flight of ULA s Vulcan Centaur rocket.
United Launch Alliance launched its first-ever Vulcan Centaur rocket early Monday from Florida, with the aim of returning the United States to the moon for the first time in five decades.
