The SDA tranche group is important, but not yet an outcome
The SDA Tranche 1 Tracking and Transport entries are high-salience because they sit in the government, polar-orbit lane from Vandenberg. The evidence does not support treating them as completed launches: the selected records list TBD status across the group, with several entries sharing the same June 30 placeholder-style timing. That makes the editorial judgment straightforward: watch them closely for schedule confirmation, official mission detail, and post-launch results, but keep claims narrow until the public record improves.
