@NASARoman "... potentially extending the mission lifetime from 10 years to at least 22 years."
17 more years on top of the first 5 year program budget would only add about $1.3 billion.
Much cheaper than a new space telescope. https://t.co/vEq98veKXO

@NASARoman Hubble: ~2–3 GB of science data per day (NASA: ~18 GB/week; ~3 GB in Roman-team comparisons).
JWST: up to ~57 GB of science data per day (typical cited range 50–60 GB).
Roman: ~1.4 TB of compressed science data per day (~1,375 GB; ~20–25× JWST).

We’ve got our starglasses on! 🤩
Roman’s Coronagraph Instrument has activated. This system of masks, prisms, detectors, and self-flexing mirrors will block out the glare from distant stars and directly image the planets and disks in orbit around them.

Remember to take the lens cap off! 📷
Roman has a “lens cap,” just like your camera, but instead of coming off, it folds out like a visor on a hat. Our deployable aperture cover has also been released, protecting Roman’s instruments from the glare of the Sun. https://t.co/9eSPn5x

Earth to Roman! 📡
Our team has deployed Roman’s high-data-rate dish antenna. This antenna will be used to send more than a terabyte of science data down from the observatory daily.

Success! Roman’s planned mid-course correction burn went as expected, ensuring that we are on track for our orbit around the second Lagrange point, a million miles from Earth.

@NASARoman Incredible execution. Roman's got 100x Hubble's field of view from L2, the survey work it'll do in five years is genuinely wild. We actually went deeper on what's coming here: https://t.co/vLKeIKGdzK

@NASARoman The NGR telescope has a great origin story: its mirror was originally built for a spy satellite on the infamous FIA program before the NRO donated it to NASA.
From spying on Earth to studying dark energy and distant worlds. Quite the career change.

@NASARoman Congratulations to the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team! As I watched I realized that I did not know who the namesake was, so Grok’s biography is: Nancy Grace Roman (1925–2018) was an American astronomer and NASA’s first Chief of Astronomy. She is widely known a

🧵 1/13) A new eye is about to open on the universe.
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will launch tomorrow (August 30th, 2026) on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center.
With a 2.4-metre primary mirror the same size as Hubble’s but a field of view at least 100
