The PRobe Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) team is excited to announce the release of a special issue in the Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems (JATIS), Volume 11 Issue 03! This issue was edited by Naseem Rangwala and Matt Griffin.

Associate Professor Ilse Cleeves from the University of Virginia says @prima-probe.bsky.social would help her study how exoplanets form, how much water vapor is available during planet formation, and how many planets are out there! More about the proposed mission: prima.ipac.caltech.edu. #prima2025

Jed McKinney of @utaustin.bsky.social wants to use the proposed @prima-probe.bsky.social far-infrared space telescope to peer deep into the hearts of galaxies and better understand how they formed. prima.ipac.caltech.edu #prima #prima2025 #astronomy #astrophysics

#PRIMA2025 Working Meeting: Day 1! We're welcoming >350 scientists to discuss @prima-probe.bsky.social's possibilities! The response to the three-day hybrid event was so outstanding we moved it to a bigger venue. Today's topics: project overview, protoplanetary disks, time domain astro, & stars.

Next up at #PRIMA2025 is BU prof @catherineespaillat.bsky.social talking about how PRIMA can fill in the gaps in our understanding of protoplanetary disk evolution

A great afternoon of talks at #PRIMA2025 kicking off with Berkeley prof Jenny Bergner giving us an exciting sneak peek into what PRIMA can do for studies of planet formation

PRIMA PI Jason Glenn leading off with an overview, showing the timeline for the genesis of the technology and science that has led to the development of the current probe concept
