Peregrine Mission One¶
Astrobotic (now Voyager Lunar Systems) · Peregrine · failed to land
Launch: 2024-01-08. Landing: not in public sources.
A propulsion failure after launch ruled out a landing. Peregrine re-entered over the South Pacific on 18 Jan 2024. Counts differ: NASA's press kit gives 5 NASA payloads and 15 from other customers; Astrobotic said 20 payloads in 2024 and 21 in 2026; Wikipedia lists 16 non-NASA items. NASA's press kit lists NDL with NASA's technology but says it is not a NASA CLPS payload, so it is a lander system here (this settles the earlier traceback's open NDL question).
