NASA targetkan peluncuran Teleskop Luar Angkasa Roman pada 30 Agustus

NASA telah menetapkan 30 Agustus 2026 sebagai tanggal peluncuran Teleskop Luar Angkasa Nancy Grace Roman, mempercepat jadwal delapan bulan dari rencana sebelumnya.

Agensi tersebut menargetkan untuk mengirim teleskop inframerah itu ke luar angkasa menggunakan roket SpaceX Falcon Heavy dari Florida. Teleskop ini akan menuju titik Lagrange L2 Matahari-Bumi, bergabung dengan Teleskop Luar Angkasa James Webb. Para insinyur di Pusat Penerbangan Luar Angkasa Goddard milik NASA di Greenbelt, Maryland, telah menyelesaikan pemeriksaan akhir cermin primer berukuran 7,9 kaki pada akhir Mei. Mereka kini bersiap untuk mengirim teleskop tersebut ke Pusat Luar Angkasa Kennedy akhir bulan ini untuk pemeriksaan dan pengujian lebih lanjut. Teleskop ini menawarkan bidang pandang 100 kali lebih luas daripada Hubble. Alat ini akan mempelajari energi gelap dan mencari sistem tata surya yang mirip dengan milik kita. 'Semua upaya ini akan berpuncak pada Roman yang memberikan pandangan alam semesta yang belum pernah terlihat sebelumnya,' ujar NASA.

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 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.

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.

Four astronauts are heading to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. The crew launched at 18:35 local time from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard the Orion capsule atop the Space Launch System. The mission builds on Artemis 1 and sets milestones for women and non-white astronauts.

Nasa's Artemis 2 Orion capsule launched successfully from Kennedy Space Center with four astronauts heading to the Moon on a 400,000-kilometer journey. The rocket reached supersonic speed and is now traveling at 27,000 km/h. The automated launch control system has taken over.

South African National Space Agency engineers at Hartebeesthoek Ground Station tracked NASA's Orion spacecraft during its record-breaking lunar flyby, ensuring communication during key phases. The Artemis II crew achieved a maximum distance from Earth of 406,771km, surpassing previous human spaceflight records. Sansa provided telemetry and ranging data as part of global collaboration.

The South African National Space Agency (Sansa) is providing key support to Nasa’s Artemis Two mission by hosting a communication antenna. The mission, which launched last week, involves four astronauts on a ten-day fly-by around the Moon. Sansa’s role includes tracking the Orion capsule for trajectory and health data.
