NASA的南希·格蕾丝·罗曼空间望远镜已于2026年8月21日被装入SpaceX猎鹰重型火箭的保护整流罩内1。该整流罩高43英尺1，望远镜计划于2026年8月30日美东时间上午7时26分不早于该时间从NASA肯尼迪航天中心佛罗里达州39A发射台升空1。
罗曼空间望远镜发射后将前往日地第二拉格朗日点（L2）进行观测1。该望远镜预计将发现数千颗系外行星1，并帮助科学家研究暗物质、暗能量以及宇宙加速膨胀等宇宙学的重大谜题1。
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has been secured inside a protective payload fairing designed for SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, marking a major milestone in preparation for its mission to discover thousands of alien worlds.1 The encapsulation took place on August 21, 2026, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.1 The fairing, which stands 43 feet tall, will shield the telescope during its ascent to space.1
The mission is scheduled to launch no earlier than 7:26 a.m. Eastern Time on August 30, 2026, from Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center.1 Once in orbit, the Roman telescope will travel to the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2, a gravitational balance point approximately one million miles from Earth, where it will begin its scientific operations.1 Beyond detecting thousands of exoplanets, the observatory will investigate fundamental cosmological mysteries, including the nature of dark matter and dark energy, as well as the mechanisms driving the universe's accelerating expansion.1
