Astrobotic Technology's moon landing is at risk after a propulsion problem prevented the spacecraft from collecting sunlight for power. The company's lander, named Peregrine, may not be able to soft land on the moon if the issue is not resolved.

A private company's moon landing is in jeopardy due to a propulsion problem that prevented the spacecraft from pointing towards the sun for power. Astrobotic Technology's lander, named Peregrine, was launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station but encountered the issue about seven hours after liftoff.

The company stated that if the propulsion system is at fault, it could jeopardize the ability of the spacecraft to soft land on the moon on Feb. 23.
