NASA taps SpaceX to launch the telescope that could unlock new worlds
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch August 30, 2026, aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. With a field of view 100 times wider than Hubble, Roman will survey dark matter, dark energy, and distant exoplanets in unprecedented detail. Learn what this next generation observatory could uncover about the universe.
NASA selected SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on August 30 from Kennedy Space Center, aiming to survey hundreds of millions of galaxies and directly image exoplanets with unprecedented precision. California’s new $135 million EV incentive, favoring Rivian and Lucid over Tesla, excludes vehicles priced above $50,000 and exempts in-state automakers from the cap. SpaceX officially merged xAI into SpaceXAI, completing the largest private merger in history and integrating AI as a core SpaceX function.
