Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

planned

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a next-generation space telescope that will be launched into orbit aboard a SpaceX rocket. It will be positioned nearly a million miles from Earth, about four times farther than the moon's orbit. The telescope will help scientists study dark matter, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics, with a field of view 100 times that of the Hubble Space Telescope. The final assembly of the telescope was completed in December at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The mission operations center will also be located at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which will handle communications with the telescope.
