3:32Now PlayingThe Peregrine spacecraft - launched as part of a private US Moon mission – has run into technical trouble after launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a Vulcan rocket.
According to the company behind the project, the spacecraft has experienced an "anomaly" that has stopped it from pointing its solar panels stably at the Sun.
And, without the ability to charge its batteries and maintain a power supply, the mission will be unable to proceed.
But, Astrobotic said engineers were working on the issue, amid hopes that it will become the first American mission in half a century to make a soft landing on the Moon - first commercial endeavour to do so.
