Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Treat Chandrayaan-3 as a demonstrated single high-latitude lunar landing.

Why
Independent orbital imagery confirms touchdown, while repeated landing reliability and extended surface survival remain less established.
Next
Use its results as mission heritage and separately validate new terrain, payload, landing-reliability and lifetime requirements.

Constraints

Blockers

  • One mission does not establish repeat landing reliability.
  • Long-duration surface operation requires additional validation.
  • Geographic-pole and permanently shadowed terrain operations were not demonstrated.
