NASA announced that the Advanced X‑Ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) has been disqualified from the Astrophysics Probe Explorer competition after failing to meet the program’s cost and schedule thresholds. The decision follows a series of internal disruptions at NASA, including a 20% staff loss at Goddard, a fiscal‑year budget squeeze, and a prolonged government shutdown that delayed AXIS’s concept study. AXIS had been one of two finalists alongside the far‑infrared PRIMA mission, leaving PRIMA as the sole Probe candidate for a 2032 launch. The agency says the disqualification reflects compliance issues, not the scientific merit of AXIS.
