Peregrine lunar lander will burn up in Earth's atmosphere after failed mission

A lunar lander that was supposed to land on the moon is expected to face a fiery reentry as it heads back toward Earth after a failed mission.

The Peregrine moon lander was developed and built for NASA by the private space robotics technology company Astrobotic. Although Peregrine is expected to burn up, Astrobotic said there is no safety concern as it reenters the atmosphere and returns to Earth.
