Peregrine lander: Spacecraft set to crash on Earth after failing to go to Moon

In a dramatic turn of events, the Peregrine lunar lander, which was launched with high hopes on January 8, is now expected to make an uncontrolled descent back to Earth. The company's latest trajectory analysis indicates that Peregrine will likely fall into Earth's atmosphere, disintegrating upon reentry. Peregrine's plight is a setback for Nasa's efforts to engage commercial partners in its lunar exploration initiatives. Astrobotic has assured that it is working closely with Nasa and other stakeholders to ensure the most responsible course of action is taken to conclude Peregrine's mission.
