What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-21

Track; not yet

Why
High-value early-warning capability for grid and satellite operators, but HENON is a single technology-demonstration CubeSat still in CDR with no flight data yet; the widely quoted 'up to 3 hours' figure is a pre-flight design target, not a verified operational result, and realistic operational service is ~2028.
Next
Revisit after HENON's October 2026 QAR, after the targeted Dec-2026/early-2027 launch, and again once first MAGIC in-flight data arrives from the Distant Retrograde Orbit (~14 months post-launch).
