NASA's Roman Space Telescope to directly image exoplanets
Roman's coronagraph is the first active coronagraph to fly in space.
NASA's PUNCH mission launched in 2025 and includes a coronagraph to study the sun's corona.
Dominic Benford said the Roman Space Telescope is carrying the most advanced coronagraph humanity has ever put into space.
SpaceX rocket taxi returns after Roman Telescope launch
Falcon Heavy can lift nearly 141,000 pounds (64 metric tons) of payload to low Earth orbit.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on Aug. 30.
Roman's first images of the universe are expected to be released next year.
NASA begins commissioning of Roman Space Telescope
SpaceX launched the Roman Space Telescope on a Falcon Heavy rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
NASA began the power-on process for the Roman Space Telescope's Coronograph Instrument on Sep. 1.
The Roman Space Telescope separated from the Falcon Heavy upper stage 31 minutes after launch.
Rescue satellite approaches NASA's doomed telescope
Lee said it is unlikely Link has enough fuel left to attempt another close approach to Swift.
NASA paid Katalyst $30 million to carry out the rescue attempt.
Link went into an uncontrollable spin soon after launching toward Swift's rescue in July.
SpaceX scheduled to launch NASA's Roman Space Telescope
The Roman Space Telescope will launch atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
NASA said that Roman’s deep, sweeping surveys will help investigate dark energy and dark matter.
SpaceX is targeting the launch of NASA's Roman Space Telescope for no earlier than 7:26 a.m. EDT on Sunday, Aug. 30.
NASA Launches Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Aboard Falcon Heavy
The Roman Space Telescope has a primary mission lifespan of five years.
The observatory is named after physicist Nancy Grace Roman, who served as NASA's first chief astronomer.
The Roman Space Telescope has a field of view more than 100 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope.
“We will do a survey of our own Milky Way galaxy and find 20 billion stars. That would make it the largest catalog of astronomical objects that's ever been produced.”
NASA and SpaceX Prepare Falcon Heavy for Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Launch
The Roman Space Telescope underwent a full launch-day dress rehearsal on August 20.
NASA transported the Roman space telescope inside its rocket fairing from the Kennedy Space Center's Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility to SpaceX's hangar at Launch Complex-39A overnight on August 25.
NASA and SpaceX completed the Flight Readiness Review for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope mission on August 21.

NASA's Roman Space Telescope ready to launch after Trump's attempted cancellation
Roman's development has spanned nearly two decades and cost approximately $4 billion.
President Trump's leaked FY26 budget proposal raised fears that the Roman mission could be canceled.
Congress rejected the steep cuts to NASA and restored funding to the previous year's levels.
NASA readies Nancy Grace Roman Telescope for launch
NASA, SpaceX, and Roman mission managers completed the mission's Flight Readiness Review on August 21.
NASA transported Roman inside its rocket fairing from the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility to SpaceX's hangar at Launch Complex-39A overnight on August 25.
Falcon Heavy's first stage consists of three modified, strapped-together Falcon 9 boosters.
