What a journey it has been for Lewis Hamilton and Fred Vasseur. From the junior series together, to the top of the podium with Ferrari.

The @axisprobe.bsky.social team learned that the phase A concept study report of AXIS (the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite) will not be reviewed because the lost personnel at NASA Goddard and government shutdown impacted our schedule and budget. 🔭 Here is the PI's e-mail with the explanation.

Indeed, the AXIS Phase A work had major successes with furthering the key technologies. GSFC’s Next Generation X-ray Optics (NGXO) team successfully demonstrated iridium-coated, stress-compensated mirror segments that meet AXIS baseline requirements (i.e. segment-level performance at sub-arcsecond level). NGXO also built the first AXIS demonstrator mirror module, learning critical lessons about mirror alignment, mounting and bonding. On the detector side, MIT quickly moved to fabricate AXIS-like CCDs and, working with our colleagues at Stanford, recently demonstrated that they achieve the required readout rate and spectral resolution.

Similarly, NASA’s decision was NOT a judgment of the importance of AXIS science. The AXIS science case was rated excellent in the Step 1 review, and it only became stronger during our Phase A study. The AXIS Community Science Book, which many of you contributed to, is an extremely powerful demonstration of the relevance and importance of high-resolution X-ray observations to all areas of astrophysics. The Science Book is one of the most important legacies of the AXIS Phase A study and, I believe, will help define future mission concepts for many years to come. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of your work on this.

AXIS has been a long journey; we started under the leadership of Richard Mushotzky more than nine years ago. During that time, it’s been an enormous privilege to work with amazing people; the AXIS science team, the incredible/brilliant GSFC and Northrop Grumman engineers, and the wider astrophysics community. I am, quite frankly, livid that AXIS ultimately fell victim to the programmatic chaos of 2025. The astronomical community deserves better. I hope that NASA leadership, especially at GSFC and HQ, can have an honest discussion about how to better support and protect programs during extraordinary times.

For now, as a community, we must look forward. There is still one excellent mission under consideration for the Probe program, PRIMA, and we wish them a smooth and speedy path to selection and flight. In X-ray astronomy, the SMEX and MidEX programs represent concrete pathways for focused, high-impact missions, and the scientific case we built for AXIS provides a strong foundation for those concepts. The technologies we advanced in Step 1 and Phase A, particularly the NGXO mirror work and the MIT/Stanford detector demonstrations, can anchor the next generation of proposals. Most importantly, the AXIS Community Science Book, representing more than 500 scientists across, is a living document and a powerful signal to NASA leadership that this community is organized, serious, and not going anywhere. I encourage everyone to use it actively, as a resource for future concept development, for Astro2030 engagement, and for building the next mission that will deliver high angular resolution X-ray imaging to address the fundamental questions about black hole growth, galaxy evolution, and the hot universe that motivated AXIS from the beginning. This community built something remarkable over nine years and that doesn't end here.

Thank you again for your support of AXIS over these times.

Best

Chris and the AXIS leadership team

Also if you do one, make sure you have your recovery code if you are using Windows Bitlocker, and go into the BIOS after flash to enable AMD EXPO and get your full RAM speed! 👍

Volta 🐾 @voltaroars.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

I mean personally I've done dozens of BIOS updates and never had any go bad, modern motherboards have flash recovery now as well. The only real risk is doing one and having a power outage. I do all of mine on a UPS just to minimize chances of that.

Definitely update your BIOS if you know how to, usually if it ain't broke don't fix it but a lot of issues with Ryzen get solved that way. Also make sure you have the latest chipset drivers direct from AMD's website.

If you have an AMD CPU it could be fTPM stutter which has been a bane of users for a while. One of the ways you can find the root cause is to download LatencyMon and run it until the issue happens, any latency spike will be recorded and you can tell if it's an Nvidia issue, network issue, etc.

Spritz is slightly blending into the patterned background that uses the same colors of Spritz's pelt, using only shades of pink, yellow, and brown. There are several textures on the illustration to give it a unique feel.

A digital illustration of a anthro badger with big spiral eyes and wide open grin giving a crazed expression. The badger also has their paws up in a clawing pose and has dripping goo marks all over. The background is splashes of neon green over a purple and black checkerboard design. The illustration is drawn with only shades of purple, black, white, and green.

A digital illustration of an anthro yellow-orange cat, named Kai Adin, holding up a peace sign and winking with his tongue poking out. He has short messy blue hair and is wearing a purple collar with a bell on it. There is a sparkle in his eye. The background consists of the same colors of Kai, with swirly patterns making him blend into the background. There are several textures on top giving the illustration a unique feel.
