TL;DR

NASA will televise the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on Aug. 30, 2026, with live coverage beginning at 6:20 a.m. ET and liftoff no earlier than 7:26 a.m. ET atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center. The telescope, named for NASA's former chief of astronomy, features a field of view at least 100 times larger than Hubble’s and will study dark energy while using coronagraphic techniques to image exoplanets. If Aug. 30 slips, a backup window is set for Aug. 31 at 7:22 a.m. ET, and NASA will host prelaunch briefings on Aug. 29.
