Astrobotic's latest mission update on its Peregrine moon lander indicates that, despite a crippling propulsion system anomaly, the mission's payloads are working as planned.

Despite losing propellant at a critical rate, Peregrine has managed to activate numerous payloads, marking a minor victory in its otherwise ill-fated mission.
