"Roman Space Telescope Launching in September" by Space Policy Online / Marcia Smith - #NASA #RomanSpaceTelescope🔭, named for astronomer Nancy Grace Roman, has a launch date: no earlier than (NET) September. It's a visible-to-near-infrared telescope like Hubble, with 100x larger field of view. It's planned to go to Sun-Earth L2 at 1M mi/1.6M km away, like Webb Space Telescope, where it won't have day/night thermal fluctuations that Hubble does. https://spacepolicyonline.com/news/roman-space-telescope-launching-in-september/ #astronomy #space

The level of risk that #musk #spacex is willing to take is the reason for its “advantage” over the #nasa space program. With yet another explosion, the question of whether this strategy is truly sustainable becomes even more urgent. I imagine with great concern the future launch of the very important #RomanSpaceTelescope, which for now is contracted to SpaceX. https://www.reuters.com/science/spacex-starship-rocket-explodes-setback-musks-mars-mission-2025-06-19/

#Romanspacetelescope #microlensing survey will monitor 100 million #Stars over hundreds of days, likely detecting around 2,500 #exoplanets

#Romanspacetelescope surveys will examine #galaxies dating back to when the #universe was only 4% of its current age—about half a billion years old.

One of #Romanspacetelescope's primary objectives is to investigate #Darkenergy, the mysterious force responsible for the universe’s accelerated expansion.
