Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Does a solid firmament or dome physically cover Earth?

Challenges

A 2012 multinational study measured orbital trajectories for three laser-ranged satellites using processed ranging normal points and centimeter-scale fitted residuals. This conflicts with an impenetrable dome preventing genuine orbital flight.
