Risk matrix

The 5×5 the review board reads: every risk plotted by likelihood × consequence, banded by severity. 1 high · 4 medium · 0 low.

Register & mitigations

R1 Launch slip past the transfer window

medium · L3×C4

Mitigation: Hold a backup window; design margin for a phasing loop.

R2 Propellant budget overrun on descent

high · L2×C5

Mitigation: 10% Δv reserve; hover-time cap enforced by the guidance mode.

R3 Comms link marginal at max range

medium · L3×C3

Mitigation: Higher-gain ground antenna; reduce data rate at apogee.

R4 Battery under-sized for eclipse

medium · L2×C3

Mitigation: Size to worst-case eclipse from the Clean Room budget; load-shed non-critical.

R5 Late requirement change from the customer

medium · L4×C2

Mitigation: Freeze Level-1 requirements at PDR; changes via a board RID.
