NASA has not yet renounced Lunar Trailblazer.

The 440 pound probe (200 kilograms) was silent one day after its launch on February 26 on a Spacex Falcon 9. Shortly after takeoff, the mission team determined that Lunar Trailblazer was turning slowly and running under power, since it could not be oriented to harvest enough sunlight to load its batteries as planned.
