We have to be more conservative to plan our next planetary mission, so it will never fail in any aspect."

hew to more conservative ideas in the near future

I didn't have time yet. But formulating the failure with a MTBF or a FIT, you can easily imagine a more robust solution. Instead of one single burn, you would make several smaller burns - It will take more time and require more fuel though. Another "robust" approach is to consider weak stability boundary capture. Again it takes time, but chances of failure are lessen.

would be a pity indeed!
