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. 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.
