SpaceX just launched NASA’s newest flagship space telescope. What makes Roman special: • Its mirror came from hardware once built for U.S. intelligence • Same mirror size as Hubble, but less than 1/4 the weight • A huge 300MP infrared camera • Each image covers at least 100× more sky than Hubble • In five years, it should image over 50× more sky than Hubble did in 30 • Will study dark matter, dark energy and billions of galaxies • Carries 1,350,144 people’s names toward L2 • All survey data will be public after processing Roman launched nine months early and on budget. Falcon Heavy’s center booster was not recovered, but both side boosters flew home and landed. 13 Falcon Heavy missions. 13 successes. Another flawless launch from SpaceX.
