It will unveil the obscure across cosmic time to better understand the formation of planets, stars, black holes, and even how water on Earth came to be," said Nicky Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters in Washington.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NASA selected PRIMA to move into Phase B, the stage of development that advances the preliminary design and technology development for the mission. The mission is subject to a confirmation review, based on technical, programmatic, and cost performance, to determine its readiness to begin implementation in Phase C. If confirmed, PRIMA’s project cost is capped at $1.2 billion, not including launch and other non-project costs. The observatory will be targeted to launch in 2033, for a planned five-year mission.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a 5.9-foot telescope, PRIMA will conduct deep, sensitive surveys of the universe in far-infrared light, helping bridge the gap between existing infrared observatories, such as NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, and radio telescopes. By studying radiant energy that only emerges in the far-infrared, PRIMA will address a wide range of questions about the universe. This includes the origins of planets outside our solar system, how galaxies and their black holes have grown and evolved over cosmic history, and how dust and heavy elements have built up in the universe over time – all helping paint a better picture of why the universe looks the way it does today.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“A single mission alone can’t probe all the universe’s mysteries. But by extending the survey capabilities of our fleet into far-infrared wavelengths with PRIMA, we’re enabling an incredibly comprehensive look at the cosmos,” said Shawn Domagal-Goldman, director, Astrophysics Division, NASA Headquarters. “With our Webb and Roman space telescopes, we set a cadence of launching premiere-class missions in both halves of the decade. We’re going to keep that up and kick off the next decade with PRIMA, as part of a pipeline that will consistently have missions of this caliber ready to go.”</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s 2020 Decadal Survey, Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s, recommended NASA establish this new Probe Explorers mission class. NASA selected PRIMA for development after detailed evaluation of concept studies for Probe Explorer missions, based on their scientific merit in alignment with the Decadal Survey’s recommendations, feasibility of their development plans on cost and schedule, and use of technologies that could support the development of future large missions.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California will manage the PRIMA mission. Other partners include NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The PRIMA mission also will have contributions from international partners: CNES (Centre National D'Etudes Spatiales), ASI (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana), DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt), CSA (Canadian Space Agency), KASI (Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute), JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), and the UK Space Agency.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Explorers Program is the oldest continuous NASA program designed to provide frequent, low-cost access to space using principal investigator-led space science investigations relevant to the Science Mission Directorate’s astrophysics and heliophysics programs. Since the Explorer 1 launch in 1958, which discovered Earth’s radiation belts, the Explorers Program has launched more than 100 missions, including the Uhuru and Cosmic Background Explorer missions that led to Nobel prizes for their investigators.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Explorers Program is managed by NASA Goddard for the Science Mission Directorate, which conducts a wide variety of research and scientific exploration programs for Earth studies, space weather, the solar system, and the universe.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To learn more about NASA’s Astrophysics missions, visit: </span></p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table class="layout layout--1-column" style="table-layout: fixed;" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="column column--1 scale stack" style="width: 100%;" align="center" valign="top"> <table class="text text--padding-vertical" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;"> <tr> <td class="text_content-cell content-padding-horizontal" style="text-align: left;

Together, they took on one of the most challenging missions in human spaceflight and helped return America to the lunar environment.

I’m thrilled to continue serving future missions and programs through the emeritus program.”</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">“Reid and Victor’s commitment to exploration, steady leadership, and service to our astronaut corps and our nation have made a lasting impact,” said Vanessa Wyche, director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. “Throughout their careers, they have each brought excellence, humility, and purpose to every role they have held at NASA. Their contributions have helped advance our mission and inspire those around them, leaving a legacy that will continue to shape the future of human spaceflight. We are immeasurably grateful for all they have given to NASA and are glad that this is not the end of their journey with the agency.”</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">“Reid and Victor are trusted teammates whose professionalism, calm leadership, and unwavering commitment to NASA have strengthened our office and inspired everyone around them,” said Scott Tingle, chief of the Astronaut Office at Johnson. “As they transition into their emeritus roles, they leave a legacy of operational excellence that will continue shaping the astronaut corps for years to come. We’re grateful that they will still be part of our community, sharing their experience and insight as they begin this next chapter.”</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">Among their many accomplishments at NASA, as Artemis II crew members, Glover and Wiseman were two of the four astronauts to first launch on top NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket aboard the Orion spacecraft for a mission around the Moon.
