The review acknowledged that Roman offers "groundbreaking and unprecedented survey capabilities for dark energy, exoplanet, and general astrophysics", but directed the mission to "reduce cost and complexity sufficient to have a cost estimate consistent with the US$3.2 billion cost target set at the beginning of Phase B".

Dragonfly and CAESAR, a comet sample return mission to 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, were the two finalists for the New Frontiers program Mission 4, [25] [26] and on 27 June 2019, NASA selected Dragonfly for development with a plan to launch in June 2027. [27] [28] On 3 March 2023, Dragonfly passed its preliminary design review (PDR). [29]
Einstein Probe, X-ray space telescope mission by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in partnership with ESA and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) dedicated to time-domain high-energy astrophysics, was launched on 9 January 2024. [4]
Such a hypothetical mission was envisioned to be possible in the late 2020s or early 2030s. [11] Another concept mission proposed for the 2040s is called the Neptune-Triton Explorer (NTE). [12] NASA has researched several other project options for both flyby and orbiter missions (of similar design as the Cassini–Huygens mission to Saturn ...
The European Space Agency has selected a gravitational-wave mission for its L3 mission, due to launch 2034, the current concept is the evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (eLISA). [20] Also in development is the Japanese Deci-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (DECIGO).
Euclid's mission advances and complements ESA's Planck telescope (2009 to 2013). The mission is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. Euclid is a medium-class ("M-class") mission and is part of the Cosmic Vision campaign of ESA's Science Programme. This class of missions have an ESA budget cap at around €500 million.
Frank and Gleiser's blog moved to Orbiter magazine [11] in 2018 with a new name, 13.8: Science, Culture, and Meaning. [ 12 ] Shortly after he and colleagues were awarded a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to look for evidence of advanced technology on planets outside the solar system, on May 30, 2021, Frank's ...
The James Webb Space Telescope launched in December 2021. By the time it launched, JWST cost about US$10 billion. NASA's large strategic science missions or large strategic missions, formerly known as Flagship missions or Flagship-class missions, [1] [2] are the costliest and most capable NASA science spacecraft.
