NASA Develops Technology Today to Enable Breakthrough Observations Tomorrow

[摘要] The COR and PCOS Programs, along with the Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP), work with four Science and Technology Definition Teams (STDTs), each studying a large-mission concept for the 2030s and beyond to inform the next astrophysics Decadal Survey. Lynx operates at X-ray wavelengths. The Origins Space Telescope (OST) is a far-IR mission. The Large UV/optical/IR Surveyor (LUVOIR) has a joint focus on general astrophysics and exoplanet science. As indicated by its name, the priority science goal of the Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) is exoplanet science using visual and IR wavelengths. In addition to these four, NASA is participating in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a European Space Agency (ESA) gravitational-wave mission.
