What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Hardware is real and maturing, but the differentiating science product (CMF) is unproven until on-orbit, and no usable data exists before ~2027-2028.
Next
Set a watch on the 2027 launch and first-light CMF data release; revisit once Level-2 products are public (~2027-2028).

Constraints
