The Roman Space Telescope is an exponential step into the future, building upon the legacy of the Hubble Telescope and its namesake, Dr. Edwin Hubble. In 1924, Dr. Hubble proved Andromeda, the nearest major

What if an observatory could accomplish in a single month what would take the Hubble Space Telescope nearly a century to survey? Th

STS-135: A Conversation With History In July, 2011, the space shuttle Atlantis marked the end of an era with its final flight, the STS-135 mission, the end of NASA's 30-year Space Shuttle Program. This July NASA commemorates that occasion by bringing together the last crew to pilot Atlantis here at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

A first-of-its-kind robotic servicing mission aimed at preserving NASA's Swift Observatory is advancing toward launch as the highly anticipated Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope makes its way to Kennedy Space Center to prepare for its own mission.

In the private sector, completing a major project ahead of schedule and under budget is cause for celebration. For most organizations, simply delivering on time and on budget is considered the baseline expectation. However, for a select few high-performing teams, exceeding those targets has become the new standard. NASA has just demonstrated exactly that level of excellence. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman recently announced that the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will l

Artemis II Launches from Kennedy Space Center Historic Pad 39B.
