The NASA killed a new X ray telescope mission on Thursday before it has two years launched. The gravity and Extreme Magnetism Small Explorer mission will be supposed to blast on 2014 to study the best black holes and neutron stars. But the external projects will considerably appear over the budget. Paul Hertz said that “That cost cap is very important aspect of the development of the project. He is the director of NASA’s astrophysics division.
Webb is the largest science project in NASA and considered the successor of the Hubble Space Telescope. Goddard Space Flight center in Maryland managed both Webb and GEMS. Gems will be supposed to hold the US$119 million and also not counting to the rocket.
But this independent review estimated the final cost at 20 percent to 30 percent said by Hertz. Hertz in a new conference said that technology is needed for the instruments that took longer to develop than expected and that drove up the price.
NASA will cost and estimation of $13million to close out the project. After adding the money already spent on GEMS the final tab for the space will be$50 million. Now no rockets have been purchased for this mission. And even the telescopes have not yet been built.
