The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is designed to unravel the secrets of dark energy and dark matter, observe exoplanets, and explore many topics in infrared astrophysics.

Athena will be an X-ray telescope with cutting-edge instruments. It was selected as the second largest mission in the European Space Agency’s Cosmic Vision program.

This is a planned mission to investigate dark matter and dark energy. Euclid has passed its preliminary design review.

This will be a collaborative mission between JAXA and NASA, with European Space Agency participation. XRISM will investigate X-ray objects with high-throughput imaging and high-resolution spectroscopy.
