The Peregrine spacecraft that was launched by the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) on January 8 to land on the moon failed to reach its target. Astrobotic engineers said that the reason for the failure of the mission was that a propellant leak occurred from the oxidizer tank on Peregrine, which made the landing impossible. The spacecraft called back to the Earth to be destroyed in the atmosphere.
Peregrine was going to be the first US spacecraft to land on the moon in the last 50 years.
