The Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) was an Einstein probe that planned to focus on investigating dark energy. JDEM was a partnership between NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy.
In August 2010, the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Science Foundation recommended WFIRST mission, a renamed JDEM-Omega proposal which has superseded SNAP, Destiny, and ADEPT, as the highest priority for development in the decade around 2020. This would be a 1.5-metre telescope with a 144-megapixel HgCdTe focal plane array, located at the L2 Lagrange point; the expected cost is around $1.6 billion.
