NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope arrived at Kennedy Space Center on June 21, 2026, aboard the Pegasus barge.
Named after NASA's first chief astronomer, the telescope will offer a field of view over 100 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope.

Impact & Risks

The Roman Telescope is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the universe, particularly in the fields of dark energy and exoplanet research. However, the mission's success depends on the telescope's complex systems functioning as intended during and after launch.
