NASA Progresses Development of Prima Far-Infrared Space Telescope

NASA is advancing plans for the Probe Far-infrared Mission for Astrophysics (Prima), a new space telescope. Slated for a potential early 2030s launch, Prima aims to bridge an observational gap between the James Webb Space Telescope and ground-based radio dishes. The mission will investigate planetary water and air acquisition, galaxy-black hole co-evolution, and the universe's fundamental origins.
