Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Advancement toward final design and hardware production for a NASA/JPL mission presents a plausible path to contract awards or funded production, which historically can lead to meaningful re-rating for space-tech OEMs. However, lack of dates and financials keeps the lift uncertain and contingent on awards and program timing.
