Enduring Quests and Daring Visions

Enduring Quests and Daring Visions is a vision for astrophysics programs chartered by then-Director of NASA's Astrophysics Division, Paul Hertz, and released in late 2013. It lays out plans over 30 years as long-term goals and missions. Goals include mapping the Cosmic Microwave Background and finding Earth like exoplanets, to go deeper into space-time studying the Large Scale Structure of the Universe, extreme physics, and looking back farther in time. The panel that produced the vision included many notable American astrophysicists, including: Chryssa Kouveliotou, Eric Agol, Natalie Batalha, Misty Bentz, Alan Dressler, Scott Gaudi, Olivier Guyon, Enectali Figueroa-Feliciano, Feryal Ozel, Aki Roberge, Amber Straughn, and Joan Centrella.

Examples of discussed missions include:
 * Astro-H (Hitomi)
 * Black Hole Mapper
 * CMB Polarization Surveyor
 * Cosmic Dawn
 * Euclid
 * ExoEarth Mapper
 * Gaia
 * Gravitational Wave Surveyor/Mapper
 * Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission (HabEx)
 * Far-Infrared Surveyor (later renamed the Origins Space Telescope)
 * JEM-EUSO
 * James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
 * Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR)
 * Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
 * Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER)
 * Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)
 * X-Ray Surveyor (later renamed the Lynx X-ray Observatory)
