Senior Review and rankings for the ten missions under evaluation for NASA Astrophysics in 2008 have been published.

  1. Swift
  2. Chandra
  3. GALEX
  4. Suzaku
  5. (Warm) Spitzer
  6. WMAP
  7. XMM
  8. INTEGRAL
  9. RXTE
  10. Gravity Probe-B

Bottom line here is that NASA funds are too tight, so some operating missions are being reviewed for descoping or shut down.
