The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has officially launched and is heading to its forever home at L2! Over the next three months, the observatory will perform final checks and power its instruments before revealing its first images by early 2027. nasa.gov/Roman

Dreams last for so long 🎶 Thank you, Jewel, for the well-wishes for the Roman telescope! It’s carrying all of our cosmic dreams on its way to the second Sun-Earth LaGrange point.

We’ve got our starglasses on! 🤩 Roman’s Coronagraph Instrument has activated. This system of masks, prisms, detectors, and self-flexing mirrors will block out the glare from distant stars and directly image the planets and disks in orbit around them. go.nasa.gov/4gDy8hu

Earth to Roman! 📡 Our team has deployed Roman’s high-data-rate dish antenna. This antenna will be used to send more than a terabyte of science data down from the observatory daily. science.nasa.gov/blogs/roman/20…

Success! Roman’s planned mid-course correction burn went as expected, ensuring that we are on track for our orbit around the second Lagrange point, a million miles from Earth.
