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