“If the maneuvering engines are operational, we believe the spacecraft can continue to remain pointed at the sun for approximately 40 hours, based on the current level of fuel consumption,” the company said.
Astrobotic added that Peregrine’s current mission is to “get as close to the Moon as possible without losing its ability to navigate the Sun and before it can recharge.”
Previously, the AP had reported that the first U.S. moon landing attempt in more than 50 years was “doomed” after the Peregrine spacecraft developed a “critical” fuel leak just hours after launch.
On Monday, United Launch Alliance launched the first Vulcan Centaur rocket into space, Ukrinform reported. It will carry the special Astrobotic Peregrine lander to the Moon as part of the test flight.
The Peregrine mission will attempt the first US moon landing since Apollo 17 in 1972.
However, after a few hours, it was learned that the device encountered technical problems, especially the loss of power supply.
