Robot types: Lunar lander. Risk band: High   RobotRisk index 49.0/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 3 of 11 among Space robotics companies with incidents (80 tracked).

Analyst brief

The record shows two mission-loss events, both lunar lander crashes, at severity 4 each: HAKUTO-R Mission 1 in 2023 and Mission 2 (Resilience) in 2025, both on landing attempts. Two failures across two attempted landings constitute a repeated outcome at the same mission phase, not a single anomaly. Both entries are mission-outcome events reported through press and agency disclosure rather than regulatory enforcement.
