NASA successfully launched the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on Sunday, August 31, 2026, aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The telescope is designed to explore dark matter, dark energy, exoplanets, supernovae, and other cosmic phenomena, with a field of view significantly larger than Hubble and James Webb. It will travel approximately one million miles to a point in space where it will begin its mission over several months.
