The European Space Agency started with 27 proposals for its next M-class mission, due for launch in the mid-2030s. After reviewing the missions, they winnowed the list down to ten, then five, and now they're down to three. The choice is between M-Matisse, which would study Mars with spacecraft, the seven-spacecraft Plasma Observatory to study Earth's magnetosphere, and Theseus to look at gamma-ray bursts. One mission will be chosen by mid-2026
