NASA's Roman Space Telescope has launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center, beginning a three-month cruise to the L2 Lagrange point — the same orbital neighborhood as the Webb telescope. Roman's defining advantage is scale: a field of view one hundred times wider than Hubble's, surveying the sky one thousand times faster. Targeting dark energy, dark matter structures, and exoplanets across vast sky regions, Roman will transmit 1.4 terabytes of data per day — the highest volume of any NASA astrophysics mission ever flown. AI and citizen science are baked into the pipeline from day one. First science images are expected no earlier than early 2027, and instrument calibration over the coming months will determine what the mission can actually deliver.

While Roman travels to L2, Webb continues reshaping planetary science. A newly confirmed planet orbiting a neutron star every 7.8 hours features a carbon-dominated atmosphere, a suspected diamond interior, and no coherent formation model — a discovery that may demand an entirely new branch of planetary theory. Separately, Webb and Hubble data have identified the likely host galaxy of GRB 061201, a gamma-ray burst that went unexplained for twenty years. Spectroscopic confirmation is still needed, but it is the strongest candidate answer since the burst was first detected in 2006.

On human spaceflight, Crew-13's trip to the International Space Station is on hold following an oxidizer leak in the Crew Dragon Grace spacecraft. No repair timeline or new launch date has been confirmed.
