The Astrobotic Peregrine spacecraft has experienced an “anomaly” that has stopped it from pointing its solar panels stably at the Sun. The solar panels must charge the batteries for the remainder of the mission to the moon to succeed. Astrobotic engineers are working on the issue and would provide updates when it had more information.
