Astrobotic's Peregrine moon lander, which was expected to reach the moon, instead re-entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up due to a propulsion malfunction. The company lost communication with the lander and confirmed its re-entry over the South Pacific. This marked the end of a 10-day trip that covered over half a million miles, and ended the spacecraft's mission to deliver NASA experiments to the moon. Despite initial propulsion issues, the lander successfully activated its payloads, but ultimately ended up on a trajectory to burn up in Earth's atmosphere to prevent any potential collisions with satellites. This comes as other missions from Japan and NASA-funded commercial entities are aiming for lunar landings in the near future.
