According to CoinMeta, on August 30th, SpaceX successfully launched the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, valued at approximately $4 billion, marking the beginning of the deep space journey for one of this institution's most important new observatories. The Falcon Heavy rocket was launched from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, embarking on the telescope's journey to the second Sun-Earth Lagrangian point (L2), which is about one million miles from Earth. This launch represents a major milestone as it signifies that NASA has advanced the launch of the Roman Telescope by about nine months. It is expected that the telescope will complete its journey, system deployment, instrument calibration, and debugging within three months, after which it will begin scientific operations. The stock price of SpaceX faced pressure in the week before the launch, but the successful launch of the Roman Telescope demonstrates the importance of the Falcon Heavy rocket in high-value government missions.
