NASA announced Oct. 3 that it picked two proposals for further study for its new Astrophysics Probe Explorer 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 is designed to fill a gap between smaller Explorer-class astrophysics missions and larger flagship missions.
