SpaceX Falcon Heavy launches NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to L2
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy launched NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on August 30, 2026, successfully deploying the spacecraft toward Lagrange Point 2. The $4.3 billion flagship telescope will study dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets over a five-to-ten-year mission.

🚨 SPACEX: PROPELLANT LOAD UNDERWAY FOR FALCON HEAVY LAUNCH OF NASA'S NANCY GRACE ROMAN SPACE TELESCOPE
@SPACEdotcom
ROMAN LAUNCH: The SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket carrying NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is just about fully fueled for launch, with engine chilldown underway. Liftoff remains on track for 7:26 a.m. EDT (1126 GMT). From liftoff to deployment, the entire flight should last

Did I just hear what I just heard? National Public Radio 💩 just ran a feel-good special on the Nancy Grace Roman telescope launch to space this morning and never once mentioned SpaceX or Falcon Heavy. A $4.3 billion NASA flagship just left Earth on Falcon Heavy. Incredibly

우주를 감시하기 위해 만들어졌던 거울이 이제 우주를 그리기 시작했다. 오늘 SpaceX의 Falcon Heavy가 NASA 낸시 그레이스 로먼 우주망원경을 태양-지구 L2로 보냈다. 놀라운 건 이 망원경의 출신이다. 원래 정찰위성용으로 만들어졌던 2.4m급 허블과 같은 크기의 거울. NASA가 이를 넘겨받아 완전히

NASA just launched its $4B Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope aboard $SPCX Falcon Heavy, sending it toward Lagrange Point 2 nearly 1M miles from Earth. Roman will study dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets while mapping the sky at a scale Hubble simply couldn’t. This all https://t.co/rnnDpLzz9g

SO FASCINATING. $SPCX Falcon Heavy just powered through Max Q, the point when the rocket experiences maximum aerodynamic stress while already traveling roughly 1,000+ MPH. Seconds earlier, it went supersonic, breaking the sound barrier at around 760 MPH and continuing to https://t.co/a7VGrRgI18
