Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that lunar landers maintain communication with ground stations during descent and landing?

Yes. Lunar lander missions utilize dedicated relay communication systems and satellites to ensure continuous contact with Earth ground stations during descent and landing operations.

The analysis

The claim is a specific, empirical statement about space exploration technology. Retrieved papers [2] and [5] directly discuss lunar missions (such as Chang'e-4 and Chang'e-7) where relay communication satellites are specifically deployed to maintain contact with landers during their descent and landing phases. No papers refute this claim.
