Mission Formulation Review successfully passed

On the 12th of November 2019, Athena has successfully passed the Mission Formulation Review (MFR).

This is a major milestone for the project and the culmination of several years of effort by ESA, the industrial contractors, the instrument teams and the Athena scientific community, represented by the ASST working groups and topical panels.

Looking forward to adoption in 2021 and launch in the early 2030s.

Thanks to all of you for your continuous support!
