What exactly happened to NASA Astrobotic’s lunar lander? HOW SpaceX to save... The situation is quite dire! Yesterday morning, the new Vulcan rocket made a smashing debut, launching from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and performing flawlessly. After 50 minutes of flight, the rocket’s upper stage deployed its primary payload—the Peregrine lunar lander—into a Moon-bound trajectory. United Launch Alliance declared complete success with its new rocket and Peregrine became the first American commercial lunar lander to launch on a Mission to the Moon. This success of ULA and NASA has received much praise! ’’Congratulations! And to @blueorigin too!’’, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet. ’’Congrats to @ulalaunch on the first flight of #Vulcan! Onboard was the @astrobotic Peregrine lander, which is carrying 5 @NASA payloads as part of our first #CLPS launch to the Moon. We are showing the power of American innovation and paving the way for future #Artemis missions’’, Bill Nelson also shared. Sadly, the space is not easy! And it requires very professional players! After the deployment of the spacecraft, its developer, Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic, also said its ground controllers had successfully established contact with Peregrine. All seemed well as the spacecraft entered a highly elliptical orbit that will bring it toward the Moon in the coming weeks. Engineers checking out the robotic Peregrine moon lander ran into problems keeping the spacecraft properly oriented, a potentially crippling issue for the first U.S. lunar lander since the Apollo program more than 50 years ago. “Astrobotic-built avionics systems, including the primary command and data handling unit, as well as the thermal, propulsion and power controllers, all powered on and performed as expected,“ the Pittsburgh-based company reported. “Unfortunately, an anomaly occurred, which prevented Astrobotic from achieving a stable sun-pointing orientation. The team is responding in real-time as the situation unfolds and will be providing updates as data is obtained and analyzed.“ In a second update, the company said engineers believe the likely cause of the sun-pointing issue is “a propulsion anomaly that, if proven true, threatens the ability of the spacecraft to soft-land on the moon.“ ---- We use images and content in accordance with the YouTube Fair Use copyright guidelines: Any questions about copyright please send us via Gmail: colonbina25@ To be resolved, thank you.
