This is the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope.
It’s going to launch in September.
It cost 4 billion dollars.
It has advanced wide-field imaging capabilities and NASA is bullish it will deepen ...
Hopefully it’s less of a nail biter than the James Webb. I followed that project intently for 15 years, right down to the 125+ deployment and commissioning steps after launch that ALL had to go perfectly in order to not make the entire project a failure. A triumph of human ingenuity and low time preference.
