Be our virtual guest for the launch of NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope! Targeted for as early as September 2026, Roman will lift off aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The telescope’s wide field of view and rapid survey capabilities will open a new window to the universe, revealing countless cosmic objects and offering fresh insights into dark matter and dark energy.

Named after NASA’s first chief astronomer, who is known as the “mother of the Hubble Space Telescope,” Roman will have a field of view at least 100 times larger than Hubble's and could measure light from a billion galaxies during its operational lifetime.

This observatory will demonstrate technology to block starlight to directly see exoplanets and planet-forming disks, complete a statistical census of planetary systems in our galaxy, and settle essential questions in the areas of dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics.
