La NASA ha fijado el 30 de agosto de 2026 como fecha de lanzamiento del Telescopio Espacial Nancy Grace Roman, adelantando el cronograma ocho meses respecto a los planes iniciales.

La agencia tiene como objetivo enviar el telescopio infrarrojo al espacio a bordo de un cohete Falcon Heavy de SpaceX desde Florida. Se dirigirá al punto de Lagrange L2 Sol-Tierra, uniéndose al Telescopio Espacial James Webb. Los ingenieros del Centro de Vuelo Espacial Goddard de la NASA en Greenbelt, Maryland, terminaron una inspección final del espejo primario de 7.9 pies a finales de mayo. Ahora se preparan para enviar el telescopio al Centro Espacial Kennedy a finales de este mes para realizar más controles y pruebas. El telescopio ofrece un campo de visión 100 veces más amplio que el de Hubble. Estudiará la energía oscura y buscará sistemas solares similares al nuestro. 'Todo este trabajo culminará con la entrega por parte de Roman de vistas del universo nunca antes vistas', afirmó la NASA.

NASA cancels Lunar Gateway to prioritize $20B moon base under Ignition plan

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced the Ignition initiative on March 24, canceling the Lunar Gateway orbiting station to focus on a $20 billion three-phase moon base on the lunar surface. The shift, echoing Trump administration budget proposals, supports frequent Artemis crewed landings amid competition from China and preparations for the first crewed Artemis mission with a launch window opening April 1.

NASA’s roman telescope expected to find 100000 exoplanets

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is expected to discover around 100000 previously unknown exoplanets. This would mark a major increase from the nearly 6300 worlds identified so far. The mission will survey distant regions of the Milky Way using transit and microlensing methods.

Roman space telescope could reveal hidden neutron stars

15 de mayo de 2026 Reportado por IA

NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope may detect dozens of isolated neutron stars in the Milky Way through gravitational microlensing. A new study shows the observatory could measure the masses of these otherwise invisible objects. Researchers expect the mission to provide the first large sample of such stars detected solely by their gravitational effects.
