Thanks - looks like things are back under control, thankfully........
Update 12:45 p.m ET: Astrobotic has issued an update on the anomaly its Peregrine lunar lander experienced. "We have successfully re-established communications with Peregrine after the known communication blackout. The team's improvised maneuver was successful in reorienting Peregrine's solar array towards the sun."
The lander is now charging its battery. Astrobotic continues to investigate the cause of the anomaly, which it believes to be a "failure within the propulsion system" aboard Peregrine.
