Where sources disagree
- News reports and trackers describe this as a model on the space station. The two announcements, as far as they were read, speak of a demonstration and of deploying; neither says where the demonstration ran. Not settled; both announcements were read only in part.
Notes
Held back until the announcements are read in full. It may well have run in orbit.
Changed
Added on 4 October 2026 and held back.
