US company’s lunar lander will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere after failed moonshot

Following a failed moonshot, a U.S. company’s lunar lander, Astrobotic Technology’s Peregrine, is set to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and burn up soon.

The lander, which departed from Cape Canaveral last Monday, encountered a fuel leak, compelling Astrobotic to abandon its mission to achieve the first U.S. lunar landing in over 50 years.

Suspecting a stuck valve causing a tank rupture, the company, in collaboration with NASA, is closely monitoring the lander’s trajectory to ensure a safe reentry, with expectations for the mission to conclude on Thursday.

Astrobotic, having consulted with NASA and government officials, prioritizes avoiding risks to Earth’s satellites and future lunar spacecraft, Yahoo Finance reported.
