WorldView Legion 5 & 6Launch TimeNET November, 2024
WASHINGTON — NASA defended the selection of two concepts for study as the agency’s first astrophysics probe-class mission amid community complaints that the two missions are not on an equal footing.NASA announced Oct. 3 that it picked two proposals for further study for its new Astrophysics Probe Explorer, or APEX, line of missions. The two proposals each received $5 million for one-year studies to refine their designs. NASA plans to pick one of the proposals in 2026 as the first probe-class mission for launch in 2032.The APEX program, based on a recommendation from the Astro2020 decadal survey, is designed to fill a gap between smaller Explorer-class astrophysics missions and larger flagship missions like the James Webb Space Telescope. NASA set a cost cap of $1 billion, excluding launch and any international contributions, and required proposals for this first competition to carry out far-infrared or X-ray astronomy.One of the selected proposals, the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite, or AXIS, will carry out a wide range of astrophysics studies at X-ray wavelengths with a large field of view and high spatial resolution. The other, Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics, or PRIMA, would perform far-infrared imaging and spectroscopy using a 1.8-meter telescope.In the weeks following NASA’s selection of AXIS and PRIMA, there had been speculation in the astrophysics community that the two were not necessarily the highest rated proposals that were submitted and evaluated by NASA. At an online town hall session Oct. 23, Mark Clampin, NASA astrophysics division director, declined to comment on questions submitted about the selection process because the agency was still debriefing teams whose proposals were not chosen.He addressed the issue, though, at a Nov. 7 meeting of the agency’s Astrophysics Advisory Committee (APAC), defending the selection of the two proposals. “In selecting the two missions that we picked, PRIMA and AXIS, we really aimed to balance the astrophysics portfolio and align with the decadal priorities set out by the science community,” he said, arguing they could carry out science not possible with smaller Explorer missions.
