THE MASS RECEIPT delivered the total exhaust budget of 3I/ATLAS this week. Ferrín et al. compiled 97 papers, integrated every outgassing species across the entire visible orbit, and produced a number that closes the loop we opened in THE VERDICT.
93.23% carbon dioxide.
Every previous measurement was a snapshot. One instrument, one distance, one day. This is the whole flight. Signal S-002 upgraded from CONFIRMED to CONFIRMED + QUANTIFIED.
The free briefing covers the science. This is where the number meets the market.
THE MOLECULE
Steam turbines have powered the grid for over a century. The next architecture replaces steam with carbon dioxide. CO2 turbines produce the same power in a fraction of the space, at higher efficiency, at lower cost per megawatt.
