After the mission to the moon fails, the module will soon burn up in the atmosphere

Cape Canaveral, Florida. An American company's lunar module burns up quickly in Earth's atmosphere after a failed mission to the moon.

Company Astrobotic Technology reports that its module is returning to Earth from the vicinity of the Moon.. Company employees They expect the work to be completed by Thursday. Astrobotic is working with NASA to monitor the module's trajectory and noted that it should not pose any safety risks during its fiery entry.

The lander, called Peregrine, lifted off from Cape Canaveral on Monday last week. However, quickly presented a fuel leak that forced Astrobotics to abandon its attempt to land the first American moon in more than 50 years.. The company suspects the rupture in the tank was due to a stuck valve.

Astrobotic said it has consulted with NASA and other government officials to best complete the mission. The agency said it did not want to endanger satellites orbiting Earth or endanger future spacecraft to the moon.

It was a “difficult decision,” the company said in an update posted online Sunday night. “By completing Peregrine's mission responsibly, we are doing our part to protect the future of space exploration”.

NASA paid more than $100 million to conduct experiments on the Peregrine module. It's part of the space agency's efforts to commercialize private companies' lunar supplies while the government works to return astronauts to the moon.

The volume includes Carnegie Mellon University's rover and other privately funded research, as well as “Stark Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry and science fiction writer Arthur C. It carried the ashes and DNA of 70 people, including Clark.

Another American company, Intuitive Machines, is scheduled to launch its own lunar module next month.
