🚀 SpaceX has outperformed NASA in the “Dark Universe” 🔭🌌
Today, SpaceX successfully launched the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope on a heavy rocket Falcon Heavy from Florida. The launch took place at 7:26 EDT from Launch Complex LC-39A. NASA confirmed the successful separation of the telescope from the second stage.
Roman is one of NASA’s most important next-generation astrophysics missions. The telescope is headed about 1.6 million km to the L2 point, where it will conduct large-scale studies of the Universe.
🔭 Its main goals:
• to uncover the nature of dark energy and dark matter;
• to study exoplanets;
• to create large-scale maps of galaxies;
• to help understand how the Universe formed and expanded.
And for SpaceX, this is yet another indicator of Falcon Heavy’s capabilities: after liftoff, the two side boosters successfully returned to Florida.
🔥 Space is becoming increasingly commercial. And each such mission is not just science, but another step toward a new space economy.
