Today, August 30, a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket successfully launched the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope. This telescope is headed to the Earth-Sun Lagrange point L2, where it will arrive in approximately 90 days. During the journey, the first 40 days will be dedicated to commissioning the instruments and performing status checks, while the support spacecraft will be progressively configured to be fully operational upon arrival. Scientific testing will begin immediately after the first 40 days and will conclude when Roman arrives at L2. The first images from the telescope are expected in early 2027.
