Abstract
Air-LUSI is a NASA sponsored project to establish the Moon as a calibration source for Earth Observing Satellites. To do so, highly accurate radiometric measurements of the Moon must be acquired above the earth's atmosphere for a variety of lunar phases to determine a reliable lunar calibration model. By integrating a robotic telescope inside of NASA's ER-2 aircraft, the air-LUSI project produced a reliable airborne lunar observatory capable of acquiring unadulterated lunar spectra at an altitude of 70,000 feet. The robotic telescope was designed and fabricated at the University of Guelph and used a two degree of freedom gimbal with autonomous target tracking capabilities. The air-LUSI instrument was deployed in August 2018 in Palmdale, California at the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center. The robotic subsystem performed flawlessly and tracked the Moon from a moving aircraft with an averaged tracking accuracy under 0.05 degrees.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
