The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a NASA infrared space telescope that was launched on a trajectory toward a Sun–Earth L2 orbit on 30 August 2026. It is named after NASA's first chief of astronomy, Nancy Grace Roman. The telescope is based on an existing 2.4-meter (7.9-foot) primary mirror with a wide field of view that was donated by the National Reconnaissance Office and will carry two scientific instruments. The Wide-Field Instrument (WFI) is a 300.8-megapixel multi-band visible and near-infrared camera, providing image sharpness comparable to the Hubble Space Telescope over a 0.28-square-degree field of view, 100 times larger than imaging cameras on the Hubble. The Coronagraph Instrument (CGI) is a high-contrast, small-field-of-view camera and spectrometer covering visible and near-infrared wavelengths using novel starlight-suppression technology. Its objectives include a search for exoplanets using gravitational microlensing, along with probing the chronology of the universe and growth of cosmic structure, with the end goal of measuring the effects of dark energy, the consistency of general relativity, and the curvature of spacetime. Roman was recommended in 2010 by the United States National Research Council Decadal Survey committee as the top priority for the next decade of astronomy. It was approved for development and launch on 17 February 2016. NASA expects to release Roman's first science images by early 2027.
