Since their first discovery in the late 1960s, Gamma-ray bursts have attracted an exponentially growing interest from international community due to central role most highly debated open questions of modern research astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. These range intimate nuclear composition high density material within core ultra-dense neuron stars, stellar evolution via collapse massive production propagation gravitational waves, as well exploration early Universe by unveiling stars galaxies (assessing also cosmic re-ionization). GRBs stimulated past $\sim$50 years development cutting-edge technological instruments for observations energy celestial sources space, leading launch successful operations many different scientific missions (several them still data taking mode nowadays). In this review, we provide a brief description GRB-dedicated space being designed developed future. The list these projects, not meant be exhaustive, shall serve reference interested readers understand what is likely come next lead further GRB associated phenomenology.
