Are we talking about the same NASA which had the deadliest space disasters Challenger and Columbia? I think NASA and Roscosmos have been faring poor for ages now. Only China and India have been conducting most of the deep space missions and China has been sending humans to space without any casualties.

Yes, We are talking about the same Nasa which has following missions:

This is the level ISRO should aim for

[Blademaster]

May God through its avatar Lord Ganesh bestow blessings and good fortune upon the fine folks at ISRO and grant a successful landing of the lander & rover and that they be in good health upon landing.

1. I'm being very specific about Indian RTEGs and nothing about foreign RTEGs being incorporated into Indian spacecraft. So, it doesn't matter.

2. Do you have source of Chandryaan-4 having RTEGs? I'm yet to see any news or even an indication for that.

Haven't heard about any official news on an RTEG for Chandrayaan-4 ---- but 2 years back, there was an EOI from ISRO for a 100W RTEG(similar in class to the RTG onboard NASA's Curiosity Mars rover).

Whereas, the JAXA brochure for their lunar program shows the LUPEX mission having an "Operation period" for over "half a year". So, I don't know how we'll manage to stay online for that long without a proper RTEG or RHU?

Another option sans an RTEG or RHU could be through chemical heating and insulation like in the Chinese Zhuron Mars rover. Don't know how effective that'll be. Last I heard, the Chinese were having issues receiving signals from the Zhurong. But, what other option is there if an RTEG or RHU proves to be too complex to develop in time?
