I would argue that Weyland did know as the crew were ordered to investigate, and they did not care whether it was dangerous. Moreover, that is probably why families were sent to colonize there in the first place.
But perhaps that is just me looking too much into it, but how else would you explain them finding that planet again in the entire universe, and it's hard for me to believe that once Mother intercepted the transmission that it wasn't also sent to their employer. Ash corresponded with them from the very beginning.
There's a fine line between reasoning and making excuses for these writers.

There's a fine line between reasoning and making excuses for these writers, though lol.
