A new platform, a new ship added to the fleet.
Congrats @nasa, @NASAGoddard, @NASAJPL
Numerous amazing shots of this beautiful launch. Here a simple unedited Seestar S30 Pro video.

After years of extraordinary work, the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope has successfully launched from @NASAKennedy yesterday on @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket and is on its 3-month journey to L2. >> Latest reports indicate Solar Array Sun Shield and Lower Instrument Sun Shade have successfully deployed, powering the observatory and shading instruments! GO ROMAN!

Like sending your kid back to school, this group of JPL technicians and engineers are preparing to send the Roman Coronagraph instrument to space!
Onboard @NASARoman is a technology demonstration called the Roman Coronagraph, a JPL-made instrument that will help scientists better image distant exoplanets.

Today @POTUS signed a new National Space Transportation Policy, one that meets this moment of explosive growth and positions America to lead the next era of space.
In the 13 years since the last update to the Policy, U.S. launches have surged 10x: from 19 successful orbital launches in 2013 to 178 in 2025. This policy builds on that momentum to enable 1,000 launches and reentries on American soil by 2030.
Most of our launch infrastructure dates back to the 1960s. This Policy catalyzes commercial co-investment to build next-generation launch and reentry sites and designates an additional federal land reentry site to bring operations home.
It expands space transportation to include reentry and in-space operations. This unlocks reverse logistics and new orbital markets. The policy also delivers priority airspace corridors, transparent range allocation, a commercial-first approach enabling Americans on the Moon by 2028 and initial Moon Base elements by 2030, and rapid, resilient launch capabilities for national security.
This is how America leads.🚀🇺🇸

“The most exciting things with Roman will be a surprise, something we couldn’t predict…” Roman Chief Scientist, Julie McEnery
Just under two weeks until launch of NASA’s Roman Space Telescope! An unprecedented journey. Remarkable accomplishments. And soon, we’ll all be watching and wondering: What will Roman reveal to the world? Read More Here: nitter.net/Spacepointorg/status/2…
