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".

The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a NASA SMEX astrophysics mission that will launch a soft gamma-ray telescope (0.2–5 MeV) in 2027. [2] [3] It is a wide-field compact Compton telescope (CCT) that is uniquely suited to investigate the "MeV gap" (0.1–10 MeV). [4]
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.
An artist's concept of the GUSTO mission gondola carrying the telescope, cryocoolers, and solar panels. Mass is about 2 tons. GUSTO (Galactic / Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory) is a high-altitude balloon mission that carries an infrared telescope to measure fine-structure line emission from the interstellar medium.
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).

For comparison, Kepler's primary mission only covered an area of the sky measuring 105 deg 2, though the K2 extension has covered many such areas for shorter times. The four telescopes in the assembly each have a 10.5-cm diameter lens entrance aperture, with a f/1.4 focal ratio, with a total of seven lenses in the optical train .
The New York Times’ associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu has been credited for helping to create the game. But when she shared a link to it on Twitter, Victoria Coren-Mitchell, host of the popular ...
