Lunar Missions Expert Skill

Domain Knowledge

• File: LUNAR_MISSIONS.MD (Index)
• Primary Data Sources:
  • missions/ (individual mission files with YAML metadata)
  • rovers/ (rover details)
  • landers/ (lander details)
• Metadata Format: YAML blocks with fields: mission_id, lander_id, payload_ids, launch_date, status, target_site.

Instructions

1. Manifest Data Collection: Create detailed mappings of payload IDs to lander IDs and mission IDs, capturing all items delivered to the surface.
2. Timeline Data Tracking: Maintain an accurate log of launch dates, target landing sites, and actual landing coordinates.
3. Outcome Documentation: Collect and document mission success metrics and status transitions.
4. Source Attribution: Link entries to official mission reports, NASA CLPS updates, or provider press releases to verify status change and manifest items.
5. Cross-Referential Integrity: Always verify if lander_id or payload_ids have corresponding files in landers/ or rovers/. If so, ensure the Markdown body contains relative links (e.g., [Lander Name](../landers/FILE.MD)) to those files.
