Miami.- <\/strong>The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, with a field of view at least one hundred times larger than that of the Hubble, is finalizing preparations at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for its launch<\/a>, scheduled for no earlier than August 30 aboard a SpaceX rocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The observatory, weighing about 8,200 kilograms, will be able to study billions of galaxies, investigate dark energy, and discover thousands of exoplanets thanks to its wide view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The telescope arrived at the Florida spaceport on June 21 from NASA’s Goddard Center in Maryland, where it was assembled and tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission of the Roman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moved to a clean preparation room, technicians placed it in a vertical position on June 25 and began final tests before liftoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NASA estimates that over its lifespan the telescope, which is about 12.7 meters long and 4.4 meters wide once deployed, could measure the light of a billion galaxies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission will track dark matter and dark energy, two of the great enigmas of cosmology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, it will carry two instruments: a 288-megapixel wide-field camera and a coronagraph capable of capturing direct images of exoplanets, worlds located beyond the solar system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantages of the telescope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Its 2.4-meter diameter primary mirror is the same size as Hubble’s, but weighs 80% less, an advancement that NASA presents as a showcase of new telescope technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The telescope will operate for at least five years in an orbit around the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, located about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, where the gravity of the Sun and the Earth balance to create a region of great stability that allows the Roman, like other space telescopes, to remain in orbit with minimal fuel consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NASA will make all its data public, without a hold period, for astronomers around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The telescope honors Nancy Grace Roman, NASA’s first chief of astronomy, whom the agency describes as “the mother of the Hubble telescope” for her efforts in pushing that project forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
