Опять космический телескоп? В НАСА озверели просто. Заметим, что зеркальце от аппарата досталось от шпиёнов NRO, за 1/7 подглядывали.

NASA announced July 19 that it awarded a contract to SpaceX to launch Roman on the company’s Falcon Heavy rocket in October 2026 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The contract is valued at $255 million for the launch and other mission-related costs.

Roman is the next large, or flagship, astrophysics mission after the James Webb Space Telescope. The spacecraft features a 2.4-meter primary mirror, donated to NASA a decade ago by the National Reconnaissance Office, with a wide field instrument and a coronagraph to conduct research in cosmology, exoplanets and general astrophysics.

The spacecraft, with a mass of about 4,200 kilograms, will operate from the Earth-sun L-2 Lagrange point, a region of space about 1.5 million kilometers from the Earth in the direction away from the sun. That is the same location that JWST and several other astrophysics missions operate.
