Enduring Quests and Daring Visions
A full-scale model of the JWST in Texas, USA
Enduring Quests and Daring Visions is a vision for astrophysics programs released in late 2013.[1] It lays out plans over 30 years as long-term goals and missions.[1] Goals include mapping the Cosmic Microwave Background and finding Earth like exoplanets.[2] To go deeper into space-time studying the Large Scale Structure of the Universe, extreme physics, and looking back farther in time.[2]
Examples of discussed missions include:[3]
- Astro-H (Hitomi)
- Black Hole Mapper
- CMB Polarization Surveyor
- Cosmic Dawn
- Euclid
- ExoEarth Mapper
- Gaia
- Gravitational Wave Surveyor/Mapper
- Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission (HabEx)
- JEM-EUSO
- James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
- Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR)
- Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER)
- Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)
- WFIRST-AFTA
- X-Ray Surveyor (Lynx)
