Peregrine lunar lander reenters
Posted: Sat, Jan 20, 2024, 11:27 AM ET (1627 GMT)
Peregrine lunar lander in space (Astrobotic) Astrobotic said its Peregrine lunar lander safety reentered Thursday. The company announced it lost telemetry with the spacecraft at 3:50 p.m. Eastern, about 15 minutes before it reentered over the South Pacific. The company said late Thursday it was still working with government agencies to confirm the time and location of reentry. Peregrine suffered a propellant leak hours after launch Jan. 8 that ruled out a landing on the moon, and the company decided over the weekend to reenter the spacecraft when it swung by Earth rather keep it in orbit.
