Astrobotic

Products: Lunar lander. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 36.4/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 3 of 4 among Space robotics companies with incidents (6 tracked).

Analyst brief

Astrobotic's record holds one entry: the January 2024 Peregrine lunar lander propellant leak that forced abandonment of its Moon landing attempt, classified as a mission-loss event of severity 4. With a single incident on file, no pattern or trajectory across multiple events can be established. Astrobotic's index of 36.4 ranks 3 of 4 companies in Space robotics with incident history. The record concerns a spacecraft propulsion anomaly during an active mission, the type of event typically documented through post-mission technical review rather than press-only reporting.
