BTW: don't the Russians already have a good automated rendezvouz/docking
system used in Soyuz and Progress?
Lord Vain,
Of course they do. They just don't have any such R&D as having
accomplished prototype landers on film, nor much less any for real
AI/robotic fly-by-rocket lunar landers.

BTW; at actually hundreds of millions flushed down the nearest
space-toilet, XSS-11 is all another butt-load of their
infomercial-science. The required human intervention factor isn't even
as good as per what the Russians accomplished as of a decade ago. Good
thing they don't have to deal with mascons.
