What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-23

Proceed with caution

Why
The commercial soft-landing model is proven viable (IM-1 first success, Blue Ghost first fully-upright success) but reliability is still inconsistent — 2 of the first 3 tracked CLPS lunar delivery missions (Peregrine, IM-2) failed to reach or complete a landing, or ended in total loss — so it should be tracked as an active, high-activity frontier rather than treated as a mature, dependable capability.
Next
Reassess after the next CLPS landing attempts (IM-3 relay deliveries, Blue Ghost 2, ispace Resilience follow-ons, additional Astrobotic/Draper missions through 2026-2028) to see whether the tip-over failure mode has been engineered out.
