Roman is Ready to Go!

After being assembled, our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has passed final tests, and is being prepared to move to our Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where teams will work to prepare it for a launch in early September 2026.

With a field of view at least 100 times larger than Hubble's, Roman can potentially measure light from a billion galaxies in its lifetime. It will also be able 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.

The observatory is named after Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, NASA’s first chief astronomer who made cosmic vistas readily accessible to all by paving the way for telescopes based in space.

I needed to make an edit to encapsulate my feelings. The Artemis II mission has been emotional to me beyond words, in this dark moment in time, both globally and with my own personal hardships, I can witness something like this happening. And it gives me hope, that in 200 years, when I'll be long gone, everything will be ok, and Artemis II will be mentioned in a book somewhere as a very significant moment in history. And I was there to see it. And I feel at peace, and I hope this joy will stay with me until things get better. And I hope my edit can make you feel the magic I feel too.
