The 2026 NewAthena calendar builds on last year’s edition, highlighting the milestone of establishing the NewAthena Science Community, now organised into seven working groups.. The high-resolution version of the calendar is available here.

Previous editions of the Athena calendar covering different topics are available at the following links:

• 2025 Calendar: presents a collage that showcases some of the scientific topics and observations in which NewAthena will provide flagship science in the late 2030s, and many more to come.
• 2024 Calendar: presents a roadmap of the project with the restart of industrial activities in 2024, the adoption by ESA in 2027 and a planned launch in 2037.
