| Outcome | NASA cancelled VIPER July 2024 citing cost overruns; saved ~$84M vs ~$104M completion cost. Astrobotic retained the lander demonstration task. Mission slipped from late 2025 to NET July 2026. FLIP rover (Venturi Astrolab) selected as replacement manifest. | Laser Range Finder anomaly during descent caused hard landing; data lost ~90 seconds before scheduled touchdown at 19:17 UTC. NASA's LRO imaged impact dark-smudge on 2025-06-11. ispace's 2025-06-24 technical analysis ruled out propulsion/power; isolated cause to LRF. |
