What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
As an authoritative, regularly-updated NASA landscape index it is a high-value reference substrate; the guardrail is that it indexes claims and developments, not validated readiness, against a backdrop (OSAM-1 cancellation, GAO-identified demand/test/standards gaps) showing the field is still immature.
Next
Use the 2025 edition's 11 capability areas and 145 developer profiles as a sourcing/landscape reference; cross-check any single claim against primary vendor/mission sources before relying on it.
