Moon landing attempt by US company appears doomed after critical fuel leak

The first US moon landing attempt in more than 50 years appeared to be doomed after a private company's spacecraft developed a critical fuel leak just hours after Monday's launch. Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic Technology managed to orient its lander toward the sun so the solar panel could collect sunlight and charge its battery, as a special team assessed the status of what was termed a failure in the propulsion system. It soon became apparent, however, that there was a critical loss of fuel," further dimming hope for what had been a planned moon landing on February 23. We are currently assessing what alternative mission profiles may be feasible at this time, the company said in a statement. The problem was reported about seven hours after Monday's predawn liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket provided the lift for Astrobotic's lander, named Peregrine, putting it on a long, roundabout path to the moon. A propulsion system problem ...

Biden hosts 4 NASA astronauts, 1st crew aiming to fly around moon in 50 yrs

The four astronauts assigned to fly around the moon for the first time in 50 years met with President Joe Biden on Thursday at the White House, where he showed off an moon rock on display in the Oval Office that was collected in the Apollo era. The Artemis II crew three Americans and one Canadian said the president was making good on a promise to host them at the White House after they were named to the mission earlier this year. They also met with Vice President Kamala Harris. It's been really nice to shake their hands and tell them thank you for their leadership and making it possible for us to have this amazing journey," said pilot Victor Glover. The four astronauts will be the first to fly NASA's Orion capsule, launching atop a Space Launch System rocket from Kennedy Space Center no earlier than late 2024. They will not land or even go into lunar orbit, but rather fly around the moon and head straight back to Earth, a prelude to a lunar landing by two others planned for a year
