A computer problem has sent Florida’s Beresheet lunar lander on the wrong trajectory. The craft’s on-board computer restarted itself, shutting down a manoeuvre that would have kept it on target for a lunar landing in April. Despite the addition of buffer days, engineers said they're still hopeful the craft will land next month and are trying to find the cause of the problem. The lander had carried out its first manoeuvre successfully.
