Each mission will receive $5 million for a 12-month concept study, with a final decision expected in 2026 and a launch planned for 2032. The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite will investigate supermassive black holes and galaxy evolution, using advanced imaging techniques. The Probe Far-Infrared Mission aims to study far-infrared light to explore planetary formation and cosmic dust. These missions are part of NASA's Explorers Programme and represent a new class of astrophysics missions. They are designed to enhance scientific understanding and align with NASA's broader exploration goals.
