NASA plans to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on August 30 with a field of view at least 100 times Hubble's

Roman is set to lift off at 7:26 a.m. EDT on a Falcon Heavy, then undergo about three months of deployment, calibration and testing near Sun-Earth L2, with first images expected in early 2027. It will measure billions of objects and demonstrate coronagraph technology for direct exoplanet imaging.
