About NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope NASA’s flagship bus-sized Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch on August 30th at 7:30 am EST. Roman has a uniquely wide field of view that is over 100 times larger than the Hubble, each day taking 1.4 terabytes of data that over it’s 5 year mission will see over 50 times as much sky as Hubble did in 30. Join us from August 27th-30th as we talk about the technology behind the incredible mission, NASA’s first chief astronomer for whom the telescope was named, and the broad scientific opportunities Roman will give us to answer some of our most essential questions about the universe.
