Ouch. Hopefully Astrobotic is able to learn a lot from this flight to help prepare for a successful Griffin landing.
It looks like Dynetics was the subcontractor for the propulsion system.
Good luck to Intuitive Machines. CLPS needs you!
This is a spacecraft failure? Did Vulcan still do alright I hope?
Nobody really knows yet what caused the damage. It might be something is broken about the lander itself, it might be Vulcan shaking something loose or the fairing impacting the lander, or anything really. It might also be pure bad luck and the odds conspiring together.
we DO know Vulcan got it into the correct orbit, that worked fine.
Fuck.
