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)
Far-Infrared Surveyor (later renamed the Origins Space Telescope)
