NASA ends Lunar Flashlight mission because of thruster problems

NASA has terminated the mission of a cubesat designed to orbit the moon due to propulsion system issues that prevented it from reaching its intended destination.

The Lunar Flashlight mission, launched five months ago, was unable to achieve its planned polar orbit around the moon because of a propulsion system malfunction that limited its thrust capabilities.

After identifying the problem shortly after its December 2022 launch, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory worked diligently to troubleshoot the issue, Space News reported.
