Products: Lunar lander. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 21.8/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 40th percentile of 6 space robotics companies.
Astrobotic's record holds one entry: the January 2024 Peregrine lunar lander propellant leak that forced abandonment of its Moon landing attempt, classified as a mission-loss event of severity 4. With a single incident on file, no pattern or trajectory across multiple events can be established. The index of 22 and 40th percentile place Astrobotic in the middle of the space-robotics category, a position set by this one mission failure. The record concerns a spacecraft propulsion anomaly during an active mission, the type of event typically documented through post-mission technical review rather than press-only reporting.
