NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: Launch Prep | Kennedy Space Center

🤩Here’s to 250 years of American ingenuity! Happy July 4th!

For the first time since arriving in Florida, NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is on full display after being unboxed and raised to its vertical position inside the high bay of the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. And what a sight she is! Launching as early as August, Roman is set to transform how we explore the cosmos. Its sweeping surveys will help reveal billions of cosmic objects.
