NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is fully built, under budget, and targeting a September 2026 launch — eight months ahead of its formal deadline. Unveiled on April 21, 2026, at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, the observatory carries a 300-megapixel infrared camera with a field of view at least 100 times wider than Hubble's, designed to photograph a billion galaxies and discover more than 100,000 new worlds over its first five years. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who attended the unveiling, noted that what Hubble would need 2,000 years to survey, Roman can cover in a year.
