Saw some type of sparrowhack or a small peregrine type bird enjoying its kill (a tiny bird) on an electric cord this evening. It has such a smooth and pretty bluish-grey feather on its back and whiter-coloured belly. I refrained from taking any picture as I was standing too close and didn't want to bother the bird. A happy moment in a busy, noisy city

Equinox (Nox), a #peregrine falcon whose life has been chronicled on a popular web cam feed, was released to the wild Friday, Oct 18, after suffering a broken wing in July. His release within the East Bay Regional Parks occurred roughly three months after his surgery and recovery at the California Raptor Center, a program of the UC Davis School of Veterinary.Medicine. https://yubanet.com/enviro/famed-peregrine-falcon-nox-healed-and-flying-free/

Tests of a spare pressure control valve confirmed it could leak 
after engineers subjected it to vibrations like those it would experience during a rocket launch.
"It's pretty much no different than when your sink starts to drip in your kitchen. Water gets through the seal and comes out the other side. In this case, it’s #helium and it's high pressure, so it's much harder to confine." https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/08/astrobotics-lander-didnt-make-it-to-the-moon-because-of-a-failed-valve/

@astrobotic In the spirit of increasing the likelihood of future mission success for all, today we published our #Peregrine Post-Mission Report.
The report includes an overview of the mission, anomaly findings, and a path forward. We are on the brink of an exciting and sustainable lunar future, and Astrobotic will continue reaching for the Moon.

En accord avec les prédictions, la rentrée atmosphérique de #Peregrine semble bien avoir eu lieu hier soir à 20h59 UTC comme le montre le profil Doppler via l'antenne australienne du Deep Space Network : la vitesse augmente rapidement jusqu'à la perte du signal.

Astrobotic's update system apparently got confused. The update posted on X as update #21 (correct), but not posted on the website, has now been posted on the website, but as update #22.

Note that Peregrine has apparently already met its demise through atmospheric reentry, though Astrobotic has not yet confirmed that.

It appears that Astrobotic's Peregrine has met its demise ...
Richard Stephenson: "As predicted by the APM1 team, Perigrine had loss of signal at 20:59 over Canberra's DSS36. It was a shame it had to end this way, but the mission did it in style."
