أَعْلَنَتْ وَكَالَةُ نَاسَا، فِي ٢٣ سِبْتَمْبَرَ، اخْتِيَارَ مِهَمَّةِ «بْرِيمَا» الْفَضَائِيَّةِ لِلِانْتِقَالِ إِلَى مَرْحَلَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ مِنَ التَّطْوِيرِ. وَهٰذِهِ أَوَّلُ مِهَمَّةٍ مِنْ نَوْعِهَا فِي بَرْنَامَجِ نَاسَا.

سَتَسْتَخْدِمُ هٰذِهِ الْمِهَمَّةُ تِلْسْكُوبًا فَضَائِيًّا يَدْرُسُ الْأَشِعَّةَ تَحْتَ الْحَمْرَاءِ الْبَعِيدَةَ. وَتُسَاعِدُ هٰذِهِ الْأَشِعَّةُ الْعُلَمَاءَ عَلَى رُؤْيَةِ أَجْسَامٍ بَارِدَةٍ وَبَعِيدَةٍ فِي الْكَوْنِ.

وَسَيَدْرُسُ التِّلْسْكُوبُ كَيْفَ تَكَوَّنَتِ النُّجُومُ وَالْكَوَاكِبُ وَالْمَجَرَّاتُ. وَيَأْمَلُ الْعُلَمَاءُ أَيْضًا فِي فَهْمِ كَيْفَ وَصَلَ الْمَاءُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ. لَمْ تَبْدَأِ الْوَكَالَةُ بِنَاءَ التِّلْسْكُوبِ بَعْدُ. وَتَهْدِفُ نَاسَا إِلَى إِطْلَاقِهِ فِي عَامِ ٢٠٣٣َ بَعْدَ تَأْكِيدِ الْمِهَمَّةِ، وَتُخَطِّطُ لِعَمَلِهِ خَمْسَ سَنَوَاتٍ.

NASA Advances PRIMA Space Telescope Mission

NASA announced on September 23 that it had selected the PRIMA space mission to move to a new phase of development. It is the first mission of its kind in NASA’s program.

The mission will use a space telescope to study far-infrared radiation. This radiation helps scientists see cold and distant objects in the universe.

The telescope will study how stars, planets, and galaxies formed. Scientists also hope to understand how water reached Earth. NASA has not started building the telescope yet. It aims to launch it in 2033 after the mission is confirmed, and plans for it to operate for five years.
