Скачать или смотреть Peregrine’s Unintended Experiment: How a Doomed Moon Mission Unlocks New Space Science

NASA’s Peregrine lander, despite a launch setback, is conducting extended scientific research in cislunar space, gathering crucial data for future lunar missions.

NASA’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative aims to deliver science and technology to the Moon to advance our capabilities in lunar exploration. Shortly after launch, Astrobotic’s Peregrine lander experienced a failure in the propulsion system, causing a critical loss of propellant. Astrobotic announced due to the failure, Peregrine will not achieve a soft lunar landing for this mission.

Efforts by the Astrobotic team have recovered the spacecraft and allowed Peregrine to remain operationally stable collecting data about the interplanetary environment. All NASA payloads that can power on have received power and are effectively gathering data, although interpreting the results will require some time.
