4 Tiny Missions Answering the Biggest Questions in Astrophysics

NASA's Astrophysics Pioneers Program aims to conduct groundbreaking space missions with smaller budgets. The program includes four missions: Aspera, which will study ultraviolet light and galactic mediums; Pandora, which will analyze exoplanet atmospheres; Starburst, which will detect gamma rays from cosmic events; and PUEO, which will detect neutrinos using Antarctic ice. These missions offer opportunities for early-career scientists to lead and contribute to significant astrophysical discoveries.
