Peregrine Mission One

Vulcan Centaur flew for the first time, in the VC2S configuration, sending Astrobotic's Peregrine Mission One lunar lander toward the Moon. Shortly after separation, a faulty pressure control valve caused an uncontrolled propellant leak that ruled out reaching the Moon, and Astrobotic redirected the spacecraft to burn up over the South Pacific on January 18, 2024.

The Centaur V upper stage, carrying Celestis memorial capsules with cremated remains including those of Gene Roddenberry, Nichelle Nichols, and James Doohan, was sent into a permanent heliocentric orbit.
