Successful? Hey Boss, the production is not accessible, because the entire power grid is down, but it's a success anyway, because we were able to deploy the latest version!!

I’m not sure of the mission specifics here but my understanding is that the novelty was the landing maneuver which puts the lander within 100m of its designated target. From that POV you could definitely argue success.
