Elon Musk To Launch NASA's Powerful Telescope 1000X Stronger Than JWST

Elon Musk's SpaceX has been awarded by NASA to launch their new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which will be used to explore dark matter among other things. The launch has been set for October 2026 at the earliest, and SpaceX's Falcon Heavy has been selected as the launch vehicle. But, how powerful is this telescope? How does it differ from the legendary telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope? Let’s all find out in this episode so stay tuned
The next space telescope mission will be launched by Elon Musk's SpaceX, thanks to a contract NASA awarded to the company.

According to a press release from the space agency, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which has a 2.4-meter diameter, will launch in October 2026. A Falcon Heavy rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida will be used by SpaceX to launch the telescope in accordance with the terms of the contract.

According to NASA, the price to launch the mission will likely be in the range of $255 million, including launch services and additional fees.
The $10 billion James Webb Telescope mission, which will look for early galaxies and potentially habitable planets, was launched into space in December. The 6.5 meter Webb telescope took two weeks to unfold by itself in space, but it has already recorded vivid views of new stars and old galaxies.

According to NASA, the Roman telescope will be launched into space in less than five years to study galaxies, exoplanets, dark energy, and dark matter. Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars outside of our solar system. According to the organization, this will make it easier for scientists to understand the cosmological mysteries.

What precisely does the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope do?
According to NASA, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is NASA's next infrared space observatory that will try to answer the riddles of dark energy in order to address some of the most important cosmological concerns.

The telescope, often referred to as "Roman" or the "Roman Space Telescope," will look for exoplanets and study the physics of far-off stars in addition to searching for planets outside the solar system.

Likewise, the space telescope, which is scheduled to launch in 2026 or 2027, has a large field of vision that will enable it to produce never-before-seen huge pictures of the universe necessary for solving some of the most pressing cosmic puzzles. It is anticipated that the mission will last five years.

The Lagrange point 2, which is a stable gravitational intersection of Earth and the sun and is around 1.5 million kilometers (miles) from our planet, will be the position of the Roman space telescope.

In 2010, the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) was unveiled. It wasn't until May 2020 that the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) was renamed the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in memory of Nancy Grace Roman, a novel scientist who held the position of NASA's first chief astronomer from 1961 to 1963. On December 26, 2018, Roman, who was 93 years old, passed away.
