SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket Launch in Florida: How to Submit Photos, Video
The 5-million-pound-thrust rocket will carry Roman after the telescope cleared final launch readiness and finished environmental testing, NASA said.
- On Sunday, August 30, 2026, SpaceX launched the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope aboard a Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
- Despite four previous budget requests from President Donald Trump's administration to terminate or reduce funding, Congress repeatedly restored money in annual spending bills, allowing the project to survive.
- L3Harris Technologies designed the 2.4-meter primary mirror, dubbed 'the eye of the telescope,' providing 10 times greater stability than the James Webb Space Telescope and imaging 1,000 times faster than Hubble.
- Landing successfully at Cape Canaveral Landing Zones 2 and 40, the side boosters completed their return shortly after liftoff while the telescope began its journey toward the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point.
- Senior Project Scientist Julie McEnery said the mission will perform a 'revolutionary census of planets around other stars' that may determine if the standard model of the universe is correct, while tracking how galaxies formed.
