Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Primary ESA/EU sources confirm first images but explicitly place the mission in commissioning with preliminary, bias-flagged products — real operational data is still months out, so adoption is premature though the trajectory is sound.
Next
Watch for the end-of-commissioning announcement and the first validated operational L2 trace-gas products (NO2/SO2/HCHO) on the Copernicus Data Space; re-evaluate once those are public
