Peregrine lander suffers anomaly after launch
Jeff Foust January 8, 2024
NEW ORLEANS — Astrobotic’s Peregrine spacecraft will not be able to attempt a landing on the moon because of a fuel leak shortly after its Jan. 8 launch.
In an update late Jan. 8, about 12 hours after first reporting an anomaly with the spacecraft, the Pittsburgh-based company said the spacecraft would likely lose attitude control in 40 hours, depriving the spacecraft of power from its solar panels.
“An ongoing propellant leak is causing the spacecraft’s Attitude Control System (ACS) thrusters to operate well beyond their expected service life cycles to keep the lander from an uncontrollable tumble,” the company stated. “If the thrusters can continue to operate, we believe the spacecraft could continue in a stable sun pointing state for approximately 40 more hours, based on current fuel consumption.”
SpaceX targets February for third Starship test flight
Jeff Foust January 10, 2024
NEW ORLEANS — SpaceX expects to conduct the third integrated test flight of its Starship vehicle in February as it works to demonstrate key technologies needed to land humans on the moon.
During a Jan. 9 media briefing about NASA’s Artemis lunar exploration effort, Jessica Jensen, vice president of customer operations and integration at SpaceX, said securing an updated Federal Aviation Administration launch license was the key factor driving the schedule for that test flight.
“From a hardware readiness perspective, we are targeting to be ready in January,” she said. The company performed static-fire tests of both the Super Heavy booster and Starship upper stage, or ship, intended for that launch in late December.
SpaceX, though, is still working on corrective actions identified from?the second Starship test flight Nov. 18 . On that flight the Super Heavy booster appeared to perform well, but exploded shortly after stage separation. The Starship upper stage triggered its flight termination system late in its burn.
Astronauts won't walk on the moon until 2026 after NASA delays next 2 Artemis missions
Jim Free, NASA's associate administrator, stressed that the decision to delay Artemis 2 was made with crew safety in mind.?
"I want to emphasize that safety is our number one priority. You heard it from the administrator today; you've heard it multiple times. And as we prepare to send our friends and colleagues on this mission, we're committed to launching as safely as possible. And we will launch, when we're ready," Free said during the press conference. "The crew is a constant reminder for us how important it is to remain focused on the work we need to do to ensure their safe return."
Amit Kshatriya, deputy associate administrator for NASA's?Moon to Mars program , listed a number of new systems and technologies that the agency is still testing and developing ahead of Artemis 2, including new facilities at Kennedy Space Center in Florida to enable rapid propellant loading, crew ingress and egress, a new abort system and a new life support system. "And those are all added there, of course, to support the crew and, of course, to support crew safety," Kshatriya said.
