First U.S. private sector lunar lander mission fails due to propulsion issues

美 민간 최초 달 탐사선, 기술적 문제로 연착륙 실패 The world’s first private sector moon landing mission has failed to complete its objective as a critical loss of fuel was confirmed by its developers on Tuesday. Astrobotic’s Peregrine Lunar Lander was launched Monday from Cape Canaveral in Florida attached to the United Launch Alliance’s new Vulcan rocket. While the lunar lander successfully separated from the rocket, Astrobotic soon reported a propulsion system malfunction, with the company later confirming that a propellant leak left Peregrine with “no chance“ of a soft landing on the Moon. Peregrine was attempting to become the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. #Peregrine_spacecraft #United_Launch_Alliance #Vulcan_rocket #private_space_mission #Peregrine_Lunar_Lander #Cape_Canaveral #민간최초달착륙선 #민간최초달탐사선 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : 📣 Twitter : 📣 Homepage : 2024-01-10, 09:00 (KST)
