The Peregrine lunar lander likely didn’t make it to the Moon because of a valve failure.
According to Astrobotic’s post-mission report:
After an extensive review of the events before, during, and after Peregrine’s mission, the board concluded that the most likely cause of Peregrine’s anomaly was the failure of a singular helium pressure control valve, called PCV2, within the propulsion system.
