NASA announced the creation of the Einstein Probes Office (EPO), which would reside within the Beyond Einstein Program Office at NASA’s GSFC. NASA had tasked the EPO with facilitating NASA’s future medium-class science missions, which would study in detail dark energy, black holes, and cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The Beyond Einstein Program consisted of five proposed missions—the creation of two major observatories and three smaller probes. NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy had commissioned an NRC committee to assess which of the five missions they should develop and launch first, based upon the missions’ potential scientific impact, technological readiness, and budgetary considerations.
