The AATSR Early Validation Programme, led by Principal Investigator David Llewellyn-Jones at the University of Leicester, has established a comprehensive validation plan, and all validation Principal Investigators (PIs) have collected essential correlative data. Preliminary analysis shows extremely encouraging results. However, the absence of data from May to July poses a serious challenge for completing the validation plan. Two key issues arise: only partial validation has been achieved, and the program’s credibility with validation funding agencies might be jeopardized.
