Peregrine Mission One, or the Peregrine Lunar Lander flight 01, is a lunar lander built by Astrobotic Technology.[1] It is a part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS). It was launched January 8, 2024[2] by United Launch Alliance (ULA). It was on board of a Vulcan Centaur launch vehicle. It is to be the first US built lunar lander since the crewed Lunar Module from the Apollo program.
Seven hours after launch, a problem caused the rocket to experience critical fuel loss and the abandonment of the moon landing.[3]
