While Astrobotic Technology’s moon landing hopes were dashed soon after liftoff this month from the Space Coast, the Peregrine lunar lander has continued to remain alive in its new role as a spacecraft despite continued warnings the vehicle would lose power.
Despite its tenacity, the Pittsburgh-based company that became the first to launch on one of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) contracts, has opted to bring Peregrine back to Earth to burn up in its atmosphere.
The company announced the decision on Sunday after conferring with NASA and other U.S. government agencies stating, “we must balance our own desire to extend Peregrine’s life, operate payloads, and learn more about the spacecraft, with the risk that our damaged spacecraft could cause a problem in cislunar space.”
Cislunar space is the space between the Earth and the moon.
“We have made the difficult decision to maintain the current spacecraft’s trajectory to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere. By responsibly ending Peregrine’s mission, we are doing our part to preserve the future of cislunar space for all,” the company wrote in a press release.
Q. I have Roth accounts established many years ago and have also done several Roth conversions. Is there any advantage in maintaining separate accounts? I want to avoid any federal taxes or early withdrawal penalties.
A. There is no advantage in having separate accounts. The IRS will review the total history of your Roth contributions and conversions. So, you will not be penalized because you recently completed a Roth conversion.
Q. My wife had an IRA account, but it has been closed out. She is no longer working. Can she establish a new account so I can contribute to it from my earned income?
A. She can establish a new account, and you can contribute.
Q. I understand I can obtain a lump sum distribution from Social Security when I reach age 70, when I plan to retire. Should I do that?
A. You can receive up to six months as a lump sum distribution. However, your monthly income will be decreased in proportion to the distribution you receive. So, if you are healthy, you should consider whether the distribution is more important than the monthly income you will not receive for the rest of your life.
