The Luna-H Map cubesat launched on board the Artemis 1 mission in November 2022, but failed to fire its engines shortly after its delayed liftoff.
Hardgrove blamed the multiple delays of the Artemis 1 mission for the cubesat’socket in mid-2021, and the mission teams had no way to access their payloads until launch. “We had informed NASA that this propulsion system was not built to withstand a long launch delay, longer than four or five months,” Hardgrove said, according to SpaceNews. “If we didn’t have to wait over a year, I think we would at least have had a chance at conducting our full science mission.
The team still has a couple of weeks to try and free the pesky valve in hopes that the tiny satellite can perform some science in orbit.
