NASA ESCAPADE arrives at Mars in fall 2027 after 2026 Earth gravity assist
Predictor: Codex Research Pack
Evidence about this node from Codex Research Pack is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
