NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: Final Testing Pre-launch

As staff at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center wrap up final testing and prepare the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope for shipment to NASA's Kennedy Space Center, watch how its hardware testing proceeded.

On track to launch in fall 2026, the Roman Space Telescope is NASA’s next flagship astrophysics mission. An infrared survey telescope with the same resolution as Hubble but at least 100 times the field of view, Roman is being built and tested at NASA Goddard. Partners worldwide are contributing to this effort.
