NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 28 October 2028.

Abstract

The inner core is a ball of solid iron that sits at the Earth’s center. It is 2000 km across, as hot as the surface of the sun, and experiences 3 million times the pressure of the atmosphere. The inner core helps to control the planet’s magnetic field and contributes to Earth being habitable, unlike Mars. Although humans may never visit the inner core, researchers can use seismic waves from earthquakes to determine…
