Roman Space Telescope to deliver panoramic views and massive data streams
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launching August 30, features a 2.4-meter mirror and a 300-megapixel infrared camera that can capture about 100 times more sky per exposure than Hubble or Webb. It will generate roughly 500 terabytes of data annually, comparable to Hubble's total output over 35 years. The agency has selected 118 observation programs to exploit its unique survey capabilities for studies of dark energy, exoplanets, and more.
