🚀 Launcher: Falcon Heavy
🏗️ Launch Provider: SpaceX → [105 launches this year]
🌍 Launch Site: Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA 🇺🇸

📺 Watch Live: 1

📡 Mission Description:
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a NASA infrared space telescope with a 2.4 m (7.9 ft) wide field of view primary mirror and two scientific instruments. The Wide-Field Instrument (WFI) is a 300.8-megapixel multi-band visible and near-infrared camera, providing a sharpness of images comparable to that achieved by the Hubble Space Telescope over a 0.28 square degree field of view, 100 times larger than imaging cameras on the Hubble. The Coronagraphic Instrument (CGI) is a high-contrast, small field of view camera and spectrometer covering visible and near-infrared wavelengths using novel starlight-suppression technology. Roman objectives include a search for extra-solar planets using gravitational microlensing, and probing the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structure, with the goal of measuring the effects of dark energy, the consistency of general relativity, and the curvature of spacetime.

↗️ NEXT LAUNCH:

🛰️ Mission: Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
🚀 Launcher: Falcon Heavy
🕒 Scheduled for: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 11:26:00 UTC 
Current T-0 confirmed by official or reliable sources.
🏗️ Launch Provider: SpaceX → [105 launches this year]
🌍 Launch Site: Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA 🇺🇸

📡 Mission Description:
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a NASA infrared space telescope with a 2.4 m (7.9 ft) wide field of view primary mirror and two scientific instruments. The Wide-Field Instrument (WFI) is a 300.8-megapixel multi-band visible and near-infrared camera, providing a sharpness of images comparable to that achieved by the Hubble Space Telescope over a 0.28 square degree field of view, 100 times larger than imaging cameras on the Hubble. The Coronagraphic Instrument (CGI) is a high-contrast, small field of view camera and spectrometer covering visible and near-infrared wavelengths using novel starlight-suppression technology. Roman objectives include a search for extra-solar planets using gravitational microlensing, and probing the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structure, with the goal of measuring the effects of dark energy, the consistency of general relativity, and the curvature of spacetime.

A bit blurry, but this older artwork of mine is such a vibe: a rocketship against the backdrop of the night sky: "Roaring at the moon"

#SpaceLaunch boasts that “it has supported the successful deployment of more than 150 satellites across 12 different launch vehicles.” However, according to public records, it does not appear that the company itself has supported a single launch. Instead, the claim seems to credit SpaceLaunch with launches that were actually carried out during the two founders’ previous tenures at Spaceflight, #Firefly Aerospace, #NorthropGrumman, and the US #AirForce https://europeanspaceflight.com/avio-signs-deal-to-launch-satellite-for-extra-european-customer

#DidYouKnow: A mass driver or #Electromagnetic #Catapult is a proposed method of non-rocket #Spacelaunch which would use a linear motor to accelerate and catapult payloads up to high speeds.
