Unfortunately, a propulsion issue caused a significant propellant leak.
As a result, Peregrine will not achieve a soft landing on the Moon, according toNASA.
But not all hope is lost for the projects on board.

Peregrine happens to be carrying Colmena, Mexico’s first-ever Moon mission.
And despite the setbacks, the project has already achieved several wins.
The key to their success is size.

This was what caught Astrobotic’s attention and may be a game changer in the future.
The project can resist.
That’s the philosophy.

This way of thinking may have paid off given the issues Peregrine has faced.
The lander has been able to power Colmena and nine other projects,provingtheir operational capacity in deep space.
We are already building the second mission.

These tiny robots measure just 4 inches in diameter and weigh a humble 2 ounces each.
