It has become clear that the Peregrine spacecraft sent by the American Astrobotics company has almost no chance of a soft landing on the moon. Astrobotics Company announced this on Tuesday. The reason for this is that the propellant of the spacecraft leaked a few hours after it flew into Ningi, the company said.
Peregrine was launched into Ninggi on Monday from the Cape Canaveral Space Station in Florida. While the initial flight went well when the spacecraft was sent to Ninggi, its batteries ran out of fuel due to the solar panels not being at the right angle to the sun. If all goes well, Peregrine should land on the moon in February.
The Peregrine lander was sent to the moon by the Vulcan rocket jointly developed by famous aviation companies Boeing and Lockheed Martin. On the other hand, it seems that there is a possibility that the Artemis mission which NASA has sent to the moon will also be postponed. This situation seems to have arisen due to the delay in the supply of some equipment required for the mission.
