- 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
Hopefully city lights through Exo planet clouds would be great.
16x the detail
@@marcuscooper7550 cant imagine how big the mirrors gonna be compared to Webbs mirrors
@@Cobra-eu5pcWhy not? There’s a ton of comparison images out there
NASA: Which ones should we build?
Astronomers: yes!
Haha
The Exoplanets Channel I just found a new astronomy channel ie you
Ok sounds like a good idea whst color Orange Tangerine?
All :)
The biggest one please!
LUVOIR A for me personally, I wouldn't be upset if they decided to make it even bigger:)
Now that JWST launched if it can successfully deploy all of its stuff Luvoir could very well be a possibility
Instead of making it bigger, I'd say make two of them, place them far enough apart, to give a stereoscopic view and allow for visual interferometry to extract more detail from the extra images
@@veggiet2009 I had this exact thought as well
💯 🙏🏼
size really does matter.
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.
Man, you are light-years ahead but I shouldn't be surprised. Looking forward to your videos!
@@LaunchPadAstronomy is the ELF exo-life finder telescope legit? getting funded? price and resolution too good to be true or technically possible?
how do they move thru space ,what propulsion do they have?
You haven't interviewed me, yet, Frasier. And I have plans for the champion Magellan space telescope.
Is the flower petal sunshine project still in development?
I can't wait to see what we learn from these telescopes, this will be a good decade for astronomy
Yep, there's some cool stuff to look forward to!
@@namelessguy5491 ??
@@namelessguy5491 What country was that mountain located on?
@@Minecraftiano1204 They're talking about the 30 metre telescope, which is supposed to be built at the top of Mauna Kea Hawaii, which the locals aren't happy about because it's both a sacred site and a nature reserve (and there are already 6 telescopes up there)
@@namelessguy5491 yeah, well the government doesnt own the world. There are plenty of other mountains. people should put their foot down more often instead of just letting them do whatever they want.
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
Likewise. All we need is for the Astro2020 survey to prioritize them, Congress to fund them, and nothing to go wrong! But we're clever apes and do hard things all the time :)
@@LaunchPadAstronomy No, not congress i.e. the taxpayer should fund them but the ultra-rich should do so. For them 100 billion is small change and we sure would put a plaque with their names on the telescopes. Best use for all that money they kept in their shady foundations
this nation is anti-science. congress would rather give tax payers' to fund fundamental christians' "intelligent design" psuedo-science in public school. mike pence (vice president) is the poster child of these fundamental christian movement.
congress will not fund anything dealing with cosmology physics dealing with inflationary big-bang theory because it is an upfront to their young-earth fundamental christian ideas
Here is an idea, make a deep solar orbit station, like the ISS, but ALL telescope lens attached. The Seven Head Hydradragon Interstellar Telescope Station S.H.H.I.T.S😁
There's no lack of ideas about new telescopes it seems...
Good!
Agreed!
Awesome Christian!! Thanks for all the brilliant videos.
Thanks buddy!
@@LaunchPadAstronomy Great video - just need to improve the audio (if you haven't already on future videos) - the audio is severely missing top end. Just FYI. :)
Can't wait to see the first images of the James Webb. I suspect they will shake the earth.
Even notice the JWST launch schedule has been slipping faster than the rate of time? At that rate, it will never launch. But dream on.
@@Booboobear-eo4es I've gotten to the point where launch delays don't bother me because most have an underlying common understanding. Once you launch there is no turning back and for now, serviceability is out of the question. That is why it is so critical to get it right the first time. That was not the case with Hubble, without the subsequent astronaut service and repair missions, Hubble would have been DOA and a huge letdown, notwithstanding how a failure would have had long term skepticism about space telescope missions feasibility. The results of a repaired Hubble blew a lot of minds and set the stage and desire to see and learn more about our universe. However, I'm sure a lot of information was gleaned from these life-saving Hubble missions and will be taken into account any subsequent space telescope projects.
I think what is driving these missions forward is the big question of identifying accurately exo-planets that are made of ingredients similar to our own. Something people, in general, would be highly interested in knowing. The thought of discovering a rocky planet that has atmospheres, oceans, etc that could in theory support life as we know it drives people to support these missions. On the other hand, in the minds of many, I believe any facts that contradict beliefs regarding how the universe was formed, even those that are totally unsupported by scientific scrutiny will be rejected from the outset.
@@JohnS916 - All I'm saying is the scheduling trend isn't encouraging. If the progress was converging on a launch date, that would great. But that's just not happening. It seems the problems keep piling up faster than they can be resolved, which acts to push the schedule out farther and farther with each passing year. As a result, it's starting to appear they are "throwing good money after bad."
The goals of the program are worthy. But has anyone sat back and wondered maybe this telescope is just too complicated and too labor intensive to actually work? If they are having this many problems on the ground, what does that predict when it's space?
There have been a number of other government projects that were on this type of budget and schedule trajectory. The Army's RAH-66 Comanche helicopter was one of them. It was conceived in the early 1990s and by 2004 still had not gotten all the bugs worked out. Fortunately they cancelled it but not before it had consumed $6.9 billion dollars.
The JWST has already used up $10 billion. But that's OK because the government has an unlimited source of funds. It's called the American taxpayer.
I can't wait to see what glorious things Lynx finds. I'm also eager for more exoplanet resesearch, so HabEx is super exciting.
Habex is very robust, lynx is a dream come true. Grant and alexis have lead an amazing campaign with lynx, they started late and still came out swinging. They are mycompetition, but, I have so much respect for dr tremblay and his counterparts. They are true professionals. ,
This is one of the best astronomy channels on YT. Thanks!
Thanks so much for that!
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
I hope we don't get a video in 2030 saying "Why these 4 new space telescopes haven't launched yet"
I'll make a note to put out a video about telescopes for the 2040's instead :)
Nothing is proposed to launch until 2036, as someone working some of these programs, they will NOT be finished by 2036.
There is a reason for this, people that work in the space flight industry know these delays will occur in programs. It is the public that does not expect them.
For instance jwst, we knew it would not be on orbit by 2018, the engineers knew it. The reason? Test test test test, and if something does not add up, they redesign or have to work the problem. I'm glad we delay, I would rather delay than deal with a failed deployment on orbit.
It's such a big deal, the satellite servicing programs office was founded as an extra measure of assurance for these exact scenarios as well as on orbit assembly.
Aerospace, spaceflight and astrophysics is a hard job. Trust me.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy lmao
Politics.
@@gavares3 Yes, but the speed of progress isn't just an isolated, inherent constant. It's affected by research budgets and the number of people and resources available.
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 Grateful Dead in the background. NICE.
Always strange and fun to see projects I've helped design getting this kind of attention. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks and that’s very cool! Which ones did you work on?
@@LaunchPadAstronomy on this list, just the Lynx X-Ray Telescope. I've got high hopes for it though, the team put in a ton of work on it the last few years.
@@IAlwaysWantedToTryThat nice work!
@@LaunchPadAstronomy The praise goes to the science team, honestly. Those folks are on another level.

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.
My pleasure!
THANK YOU for the index in the description, i.e. for naming the sections of the video and the times they start.
I always watch your awesome videos with my morning coffee to start my day off with positivity and enthusiasm!
Your words while teaching through each video connected my emotions from when I was a 5YO Kid. Always passionate about the space things. all the best for you. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
Just found this channel. Great content. Subscribed~👊
Thanks Lou, and I'm glad to have you along for the ride!
Really awesome that they consulted about Starship.
Mind-boggling complications with accuracy and exhaustive attention to details and minute information to details make American scientists and technocrats thorough and superb professionals
Hey launch pad astronomy, i love your videos especially this one , but it would really be nice if you had included timestamps for each telescopes . Sending love and support ! ❤️
Lets hope after james web there wont be such a delay again so we can launch all of them
First time seeing any of your videos. This was fabulous and really stretched my brain with all your detailed information. Thank you.
Excellent, thorough and technically detailed coverage of a great many of the issues. Well done!
Great video! and supercool shirt man.
Thanks, I appreciate it. And it's one of my favorite shirts!
Excellent video. I hope that at least one of these telescopes is built and deployed within the next twenty years or so.
You and me both!
Wow I'm stoked about all of them 😅 Thanks for the neat overview!
Thanks for keeping me up to date man, very interesting and informational video. 👍
Hi Christian. Wonderful video, so well presented, you have made it impossible to chose one. Realistically what would it cost to have them all and how long might it take?
Thanks for the comment! The final reports (linked in the description) include costing information. I'm not sure what cost savings would be achieved if they were built all at once, but these missions are typically spread out over a decade or more to spread the costs out. Still, if we can have a new Space Force, we can increase NASA's Astrophysics budget.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy For sure! and I am certain that Space Force is going to want a few of these for themselves.
at least 35 ± 5 years
Someone :
if only we had a space observatory that defied all limits of the possible. That only weighed 6200 kilograms, with dimensions of 21.2 metres X 14.2 metres X 8 metres. With a 25 m² primary mirror weighing only 705 kg. That was made from beryllium, mined in Utah, vacuum vapour coated with 48 grams of gold at a thickness of 100 nanometres.
A focal length of 131.4 metres, with an angular resolution of 0.07 arcseconds, at wavelengths of between 0.6 and 28.5 microns. You know, so it could resolve a regulation soccer ball from 550 kilometres away. That can downlink in excess of 57 gigabytes of data daily. With next-gen gyroscopes of no moving parts, and SCAT and MRE-1 thrusters for Delta V orbit correction. And dinitrogen tetroxide and hydrazine fuel supplies for 10 years or more of thruster operation.
With near and mid infrared radiation capture ability and near infrared slitless spectography. One that requires new technology and processes to be invented. A game changer. You know, that kind of observatory....
NASA :
Hold my space beer....
hol up...
This video is awesome! Thank you!
A new era even some would say and do say a Golden era of astronomy is upon us I agree and I'm loving every minute of it every little ounce of it that my brain can suck up. You're doing a great job here, channels like this keep us informed with astronomy alive and at everyones fingertips. A+ 😉
Thanks Dan, I really appreciate it :)
When they finally get JWST up there.....I'll get excited about it. It's nice to ponder.....but it seems that only a few see the importance of these projects. Excellent video though. Subbed and liked. Great job!
Thanks, and I'm glad to have you along for the ride!
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!
Appreciate the feedback and I'm sorry for the extra bass. It sounded perfect in my earbuds, but I can hear it now on another set of speakers. Looks like i need to find a decent set of headphones ;(
@@LaunchPadAstronomy It was a minor thing, happy to provide feedback! it doesn't take away from the content for me :) Looking forward to more content in the future!
No, I really appreciate it. I'm a stickler for sound and it's clear that something has happened to my earbuds that i wasn't aware of. Cheers!
I did notice it as well, but it was so interesting it did not detract from the great content - Thank you
Yeah my iPad was shaking the bed I didn’t know why
One of the best videos available on the subject. Thank you!
Appreciate it!
Another great video with beautiful explanations..!! Thank You Sir for share..!!
Investing now in big telescopes like the LUVOIR, seems like the best way to find new habitable planets, until we got an huge improvement in Intergalactic Spaceships that could travel closer to the speed of Light. And then sent small probes to study those planets.
Or any improvement for that matter ;)
Can you _imagine_ how much could we do if size and weight wouldn't be an issue to bring things into space?
If Arthur C Clarke is nowhere near it, it should take us another 1000 years to build our space elevators though...
But things tend to take longer but be much better than fiction predicts
Absolutely outstanding, been looking for content like this for months.
Thanks!

Great narration and graphics. Thanks.
Great job, my son and I were just talking about the space Telescopes that are coming. Glad to hear the other three. :)
Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The next version of starship will have an 18 meter diameter. Obviously this is far off, but so is luvoir if it gets fully funded. Would it make sense to consider luvoir-a but without the complex unfolding, instead opting to use a design similar to the origins space telescope? Obviously there's the risk of the development of the 18 meter starship, but it would reduce the risk of the complex origami mechanism and also improve the performance of the coronagraph
They're planning on an 18-meter starship? If they build one then LUVOIR-A could be redesigned as a segmented monolithic mirror like Origins. It could also avoid having to deploy a secondary (or at least make deploying it less complex?). The sunshield and solar arrays would still need to be stowed and deployed after launch, but that would really simplify things if SpaceX could pull it off.
great vid very interesting content..the mike your using makes your voice sound muffled at least thas how the sound is coming through my speaks and head phones ...peace out
Thanks for the feedback and I apologize for the audio. It seems the earbuds I used to process the audio are no longer working properly or something because it sounded fine in them at the time. I've since gotten a new pair of headphones so hopefully the sound will improve in future videos. Really sorry about that :(
Excellent video. Thank you!
Wow thats huge work on the video. Thank you!
My pleasure and thanks!
I have been thinking how cool it would be to have 2 space telescopes in orbit around the sun, each 180 degrees apart (opposite sides of the sun), so they would maximize the distance between them and potentially get higher resolution by using them in tandem. This would require the 2 space telescopes to work together as a single telescope with a mirror the diameter the size of their orbit. Current technology would work well for Very Long Baseline Interferometry - VLBI in the RADIO spectrum. I am not sure what other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum could work with current technology. Imagine, for example, the resolution achievable with 2 telescopes working in tandem, with orbits the size of Jupiter's orbit. Extrapolating a little further, it would be good to have 2 more pairs of satellites orbiting at 90 degrees from the original pair of telescopes to allow observations in all directions at any instant in time. I think I cannot be the first to think of this idea. Does anyone know of such a proposal?
now this is amazing
Put them in L3 and L4
I'm wondering if the designers have re-visited the concept of building a telescope in space - likely via the International Space Station. Where they launch the telescope one subsystem at a time and assemble it space - then launch it to it's final location.
I really hope they do, imagine having a telescope with a 200 meter wide primary mirror, that would be frickin amazing!!
Well played! Very instructive and interesting... Thanks alot!!!
They all bring something to the party..
Nice upload Chris
Thanks man!
Anyone else here forgotten how to process actual good news
I think that we should send up a fleet of sunshades and cooling systems of different designs that could be ready for use by many generations of telescopes. This would mean telescopes could be bigger in the rocket.
We should build a Dyson sphere, with the entire Sun obscured, the entire outside surface of the Dyson sphere could be telescopes!
Someday...
@@scotth6814at that point we might as well just send a megatelescope over to the nearest black hole to utilize its Einstein ring
This was a fantastic video. Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
This is one of the best space CZcams channel.
Thanks!
I hate that people focus so much on the delay and increase in cost.
There is no experiment getting anywhere close to compare with the JWST.
The early estimates where far beyond naive.
You are going to send one of the most sensitive devices ever made in to space using rockets.
It needs to be perfect and yet able to handle extreme conditions.
Nothing similar has ever been done.
It'll be revolutionary and personally I think it's worth every cent. The latest US carrier is 13 billion dollars or so? Science is money better spent. Just imagine if the US spent their Military budget on science.
So can we just point this at Alpha Centauri right away??
Finally a video without a single DISLIKE.
Great video!
You can't see dislikes anymore there will probably be a few dislikes
Fascinating! I think the LYNX is intriguing, but yes, they're all beautiful and ought to be built and flown!
You explain things really well, and the diagrams are professional.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Well done, fantastic video!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Thank you very much for this !!
You're very welcome!
Very interesting and informative video. Exciting stuff indeed.
Subbed.
most excited for lynx, cause i wanna see what things look like only in x-ray light
I'm glad you're taking advantage of youtube's chapter/timestamp segment thing that it does now. Pretty neat feature, that.
Thanks, and thanks for the reminder. I forgot to add chapters to the Moon telescopes video.
💛🥺 ty for existing
I’m from the future and the JWST is simply amazing. Great launch, so good and efficient, that it will have enough fuel to expand the expected life of the mission to 20 years. The images are mind blowing, absolutely stunning. Well worth the wait and money
I'm so happy their are people like you to explain this to people like me
You’re very kind to say that, thanks!
A well done job, this doco.
Hello Sir: I find this subject fascinating . Thank you.

Im 34 and only in recent years has all the space activity motivated me to go get an engineering degree. It really is never too late we need more S.T.E.A.M.!
Great work, the presentation is excellent, best video on this subject matter.
Thanks, much appreciated!
OOOh yeah baby, bring the big canon, bring the big horse!!! This is our life time...
Cool, I was always hoping exactly for a telescope like Origins.
Thank you.
They are all needed.
Outstanding content !
Is there some maximum size limit for these telescopes that making it bigger wouldn't improve the image any further?
Is it possible to see continents, oceans, islands, vegetation (forests) on the exoplanets with larger telescopes?
Can you please provide link for all the four reports? I found the HabEx report but not able to find the others. It was an interesting read.
I was the lead designer on origins space telescope, was neat to see my deploy video on here.
Don't launch until 2036.
I loved your video! I had to upconvert it from a really low resolution (960x540). I hope I didn't ruin it too much. Any idea where I can find a better version for the future?
@@LaunchPadAstronomy I have all the frames still, I can send you a 1920x1280 render of it.

Watching galaxy's evolve over time would be awesome.ive always wanted to see the milkyway in its early days.dont know if they can do that tho🤔
I've been wondering if the coronagraph's 'sunflower' starshade idea could be applied to camera irises to improve imaging.

Any chance for the 2nd Stubby Hubble from NRO to be used for anything?
At 20:33, what's the reason for rotating the telescope around its axis?
Interesting video. Is there any possibility that there will be another HST service mission?
Hi! I was hoping if you could explain what I saw while looking at the moon a few nights ago.
I was aware the Antares appears a red color in the sky, but when I looked at it closer, it appeared redder than blood. It was like the point a red laser light makes, or a ruby in the sky.
But then, I looked at some other stars, and they appeared red as well, not as fiercely it seemed, but still intensely red compared to stars further away from the moon.
Basically, all stars that were next to the moon, which was full and very bright, appeared to be this shade of red.
Is this some optical illusion caused by the moons glare that is deceiving me? Or is it the bright shine of the moon that makes them appear red like this?
@Launch Pad Astronomy
Christian Ready, what are your thoughts on extending life of the Hubble Telescope? Could this really extend research dollars? Or is the idea a kind of "not giving up on our old used car of a telescope." I see the value. On the other hand, could we just be throwing good money after bad?
I'm seriously interested in an astronomer's perspective.
The good, bad, and the ugly.
I hope JWST promotes all of these to get approved and funded as quickly as possible. I desperately wish for al 4 and more to get approved and launched before the end of the 2030's. These will revolutionize everything we could possibly know about our history and our place in this wonderful universe. Truly remarkable work.
Incredible information
