The COSPAR Policy requires three documentation steps for lunar exploration: (1) preparation of a short planetary protection plan outlining flight projects and potential impact targets, (2) submission of brief pre- and post-launch analyses detailing impact strategies, and (3) submission of a post-encounter and end-of-mission report providing the estimated location of any planned or accidental impact.
