NASA's Roman Space Telescope Transported from Goddard to Kennedy for Launch

NASA's Roman Space Telescope Transported from Goddard to Kennedy for Launch

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has been transported from the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This complex operation involved moving the telescope in a specially designed portable clean room called the CHARIOT, ensuring it remained uncontaminated and at a stable temperature. The journey required careful planning to navigate under highway overpasses and through city streets, eventually reaching the port of Baltimore. From there, the telescope was transported by barge to Florida, where it will undergo final preparations for its upcoming launch.

SpaceX Launches NROL-95 Mission, Sonic Boom Heard Across Florida

SpaceX successfully launched the NROL-95 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station early Thursday morning. The Falcon 9 rocket carried a classified payload for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The launch occurred at 3:10 a.m., and shortly after, the first-stage booster returned to Landing Zone 2 at Cape Canaveral, creating a sonic boom that was heard across Brevard County. This mission marked the 49th rocket launch from Florida's Space Coast in 2026. The sonic boom, a result of the booster returning at supersonic speeds, was a notable event for residents in the area.
