In February, CARIOQA-PHB industrial partners met in Gradignan and Niviano to advance the Microwave and Laser subsystems—two critical elements of the instrument. With several technologies still at low Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), the consortium aims to reach TRL 6 by the end of Phase B.

The meetings enabled partners to refine technical requirements, address constraints, and strengthen coordination through face-to-face co-engineering sessions at Leonardo and Exail facilities. These exchanges proved essential for improving efficiency and aligning subsystem development with overall mission goals.
