A NASA estabeleceu o dia 30 de agosto de 2026 como a data de lançamento do Telescópio Espacial Nancy Grace Roman, antecipando o cronograma em oito meses em relação aos planos iniciais.

A agência pretende enviar o telescópio infravermelho ao espaço a bordo de um foguete Falcon Heavy da SpaceX, saindo da Flórida. Ele seguirá para o ponto de Lagrange L2 Sol-Terra, juntando-se ao Telescópio Espacial James Webb. Engenheiros do Centro de Voo Espacial Goddard da NASA, em Greenbelt, Maryland, concluíram uma inspeção final do espelho primário de 2,4 metros no final de maio. Eles agora estão se preparando para enviar o telescópio para o Centro Espacial Kennedy ainda este mês para verificações e testes adicionais. O telescópio oferece um campo de visão 100 vezes mais amplo que o do Hubble. Ele estudará a energia escura e buscará sistemas solares semelhantes ao nosso. 'Todo esse trabalho culminará no Roman proporcionando visões inéditas do universo', afirmou a 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 maio 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.
