Products: lunar-lander, rover. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 40.4/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 4 of 16 among Defense / space companies with incidents (123 tracked).

Analyst brief

The register carries a single entry for JAXA: a December 2025 H3 rocket failure during launch of a navigation satellite, coded mission-loss with a severity of 4. JAXA's index of 40.4 ranks 4 of 16 companies in Defense / space with incident history. The record is press-driven, anchored to a single dated launch event rather than an accumulation of regulatory findings. No trajectory can be established from one data point; the standing here is a function of severity and category concentration, not frequency.
