Will restarting a mission affect my rank? - Two Persons Holding Two Red Heart Shaped Balloons

Like the title says I'm wondering if I get a clean slate if I restart a mission.

Here's a scenario: I've been trying a mission over and over from checkpoint, triggering alarms and whatnot. This will obviously affect my rank since it will deduct a lot of points.

I don't want this (who would?). Now, once again for the question: Will I get a complete do-over if I restart the mission? Granting me the ability to get that long awaited S-rank instead of that lousy D-rank?
