Aspera

Live launch listing supports 2026; inherited January 2027 day is not corroborated. Year-only target may change. | 2026-10-25: Provider page still lists 2026 and older NET Q1 2026 wording; it does not establish inherited 29 January 2027. Mission/site verified; timing freshness remains unresolved. | 2026-10-25: Mission page confirms target, Electron, customer/payload and LC-1. Older body wording still says NET Q1 2026; current header/year retained without inventing a day.
