Roman Space Telescope
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, named after the astronomer who argued NASA into building Hubble. Its mirror is Hubble's size and its field of view is about a hundred times wider, so a survey that would have taken Hubble decades takes it months. It is looking for the effect of dark energy on how the universe expanded, and for planets around other stars by watching their gravity bend the light of stars behind them.

Trayectoria
On its way to the same L2 region as JWST and Euclid, which takes about a month from launch. Until it arrives the line here is a cruise rather than a loop, and it is drawn where it actually is rather than where it is going.
Por el camino
- Launched on a Falcon Heavy, bound for L2
