米ペレグリン「世界初の民間月探査船」任務失敗
US Peregrine's ``world's first private lunar exploration vessel'' mission failure
The US Peregrine failed to set the record as the world's first private lunar exploration vessel due to a fuel leak. According to CNN and others on the 9th (local time), Peregrine Development Company's application
"Unfortunately, there is no chance that Peregrine will land on the moon," Strobotic said. The company said, ``Currently, Peregrine will lose its ability to head toward the sun, and it will travel to the moon as much as possible before losing its power.''
The goal is to be close to the Peregrine, which underwent a wrap-up party in the early hours of the previous day, was the first U.S. lunar probe to have a wrap-up party in 52 years. If we succeed in landing on the moon, we will be the first in the world to land on the moon.
It has the honor of being the first private exploration vessel to reach the moon. Earlier, Israeli and Japanese companies also launched lunar landers, but each crashed due to engine and software defects.
However, seven hours after the wrap-up party, Peregrine was having trouble getting the solar panels for power to work properly due to a fuel leak. Astrobotic is a propulsion system.
It is believed that the fuel leak occurred due to a problem with the stem. Currently, Peregrine only has enough fuel left to fly for 40 hours.
Peregrine's failure is due to the lunar reclamation project, Project Artemis.
This will inevitably be a blow to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which is in charge of the project. The United States and other countries have plans to build a permanent base on the moon in the late 2020s through the Artemis program, but
This is because a smooth ``Civilian Lunar Payload Service'' (CLPS) is necessary for this purpose. Peregrine headed to the moon with 20 kinds of payloads commissioned by NASA and others.
This is to verify the potential of CLPS. NASA paid Peregrine $108 million for this. NASA was planning to launch an additional spacecraft for CLPS next month, but NY
T predicted that if Peregrine fails, NASA may reconsider it. NASA is currently investigating the exact cause of Peregrine's failure.
Examining the row data and confirming the cause of the (failure). It will help us plan for the future." However, Peregrine's latest flight is not without meaning. uk southan
``Aside from the loss of propulsion, we will be able to accurately test the harsh realities of space, such as extreme temperatures and powerful radiation,'' said Kim Min-kwan, a professor at Phong University.
"This will be important data for future lunar exploration preparations," he told the British daily The Guardian.
