SpaceX's Falcon Heavy will launch a new space telescope into orbit on August 30, 2023, at 14:26 Moscow time (MSK). The Nancy Grace Roman telescope is designed to enable comprehensive observation of the universe, collecting data on more than two billion galaxies.

According to the U.S. space agency NASA, the Nancy Grace Roman telescope will be able to scan the sky up to a thousand times faster than the current Hubble telescope. This promises a significant improvement in our capabilities for space exploration.

The Falcon Heavy will use previously flown boosters for this launch, optimizing the launch process. The mission aims to provide valuable data for astronomical research and expand our understanding of the universe.
