4 Future Space Telescopes NASA wants to build

4 future space telescopes NASA wants to build are the Habitable Exoplanet Explorer (HabEx), the Lynx X-Ray telescope, Origins Space Telescope, and the Large Ultraviolet Optical Infrared Explorer (LUVOIR) . If approved, these 4 future space telescopes will succeed the James Webb Space Telescope and the Nancy Grace Roman space telescopes. To that end, NASA and astronomers now have four final reports for these space telescopes that if selected, will find habitable Earth-like worlds:

0:00 Start
2:54 Habitable Exoplanet observatory (HabEx)
8:53 Lynx X-Ray observatory
12:00 Origins Space Telescope (OST)
17:17 Large Ultraviolet, Optical, Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR)

Hope we get to see LUVOIR A. Just imagine what it will capture compared to hubble. 30 or 40 years newer sensor technology, 33x the light gathering capacity, 6x higher angular resolution

NASA: Which ones should we build?
Astronomers: yes!

[frasercain]

Awesome work. I was able to interview all the science leads for each of these missions at the AAS, and we're working on our videos for the next telescopes.

[joedasilva]

How I wish all of them were built . There is much to see n so much to discover .
Thanks Christian for sharing this exciting video. We r together in this journey

[aaronjacobs]

I can't wait to see what we learn from these telescopes, this will be a good decade for astronomy

[MrKKUT]

LUVOIR A for me personally, I wouldn't be upset if they decided to make it even bigger:)

[thenasadude]

There's no lack of ideas about new telescopes it seems...
Good!

[TheGunmanChannel]

Awesome Christian!! Thanks for all the brilliant videos.

[naamadossantossilva]

I hope we don't get a video in 2030 saying "Why these 4 new space telescopes haven't launched yet"

[Dan]

This is one of the best astronomy channels on YT. Thanks!

[IAlwaysWantedToTryThat]

Always strange and fun to see projects I've helped design getting this kind of attention. Thanks for the great content!

[musicdev]

I still can’t believe I’m fascinated by telescopes. Glad I have channels like these to remind me that liking telescopes is totally cool

[mbrsart]

I can't wait to see what glorious things Lynx finds. I'm also eager for more exoplanet resesearch, so HabEx is super exciting.

[WayneTheSeine]

Can't wait to see the first images of the James Webb. I suspect they will shake the earth.

[DeathValleyDazed]

Thank you for taking the time to produce such a valuable and timely update and kudos to the brilliant engineers and scientists who work hard these long range projects!

[murlidharkhatkale]

Mind-boggling complications with accuracy and exhaustive attention to details and minute information to details make American scientists and technocrats thorough and superb professionals

[TerjeNesthus]

Excellent video. Been looking forward to Webb for years, but these other telescopes looks amazing too. This is just the channel I've been missing on youtube, thanks!

The whole world should just get together and make all four .

Great Video - thank you for this!! I like to believe we should see an increase in the speed and ease of getting more projects like this underway with the advent of commercial entities such as SpaceX and Blue Origin ... I hope these are not the only ones to succeed in making space exploration faster/cheaper/safer.

[Omni-Kriss]

Great video :) Altough I did notice the sound has got a lot of low end bass, perhaps try adjusting this with a high pass filter just a tiny bit!
