Congrats to @NASARoman on a successful launch!
We look forward to pushing the boundaries of exoplanet direct imaging together. 🤝
Replying to @NASA
Liftoff! @NASARoman begins its flight to space. The Roman telescope’s wide field of view will generate never-before-seen images, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe.
More than two decades before NASA was created, Caltech students and researchers worked side-by-side on daring rocketry experiments in the Arroyo Seco.
Today, Caltech students continue that legacy at JPL.
