Unofficial Re-stream

Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 29 satellites for the company's Starlink internet service. Liftoff of the Starlink 10-49 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for Tuesday, August 25, at 5:33 a.m. EDT (0933 UTC).

The first-stage Falcon 9 booster, serial number B1067, launching for a 37th time, will take a north-easterly trajectory on departure from Florida's Space Coast. About 8.5 minutes into flight it will land on SpaceX's drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Our live coverage with commentary from Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith will start about one hour prior to launch.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a NASA infrared space telescope with a 2.4 m (7.9 ft) wide field of view primary mirror and two scientific instruments. The Wide-Field Instrument (WFI) is a 300.8-megapixel multi-band visible and near-infrared camera, providing a sharpness of images comparable to that achieved by the Hubble Space Telescope over a 0.28 square degree field of view, 100 times larger than imaging cameras on the Hubble. The Coronagraphic Instrument (CGI) is a high-contrast, small field of view camera and spectrometer covering visible and near-infrared wavelengths using novel starlight-suppression technology. Roman objectives include a search for extra-solar planets using gravitational microlensing, and probing the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structure, with the goal of measuring the effects of dark energy, the consistency of general relativity, and the curvature of spacetime.

Tune in to watch our newest orbiting observatory launch to space. Our Roman Space Telescope is scheduled to lift off at 7:26 a.m. EDT (1126 UTC) on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Named after NASA’s first chief astronomer, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will have a deep, panoramic view of the cosmos, producing images over 100 times larger than our Hubble Space Telescope, but with the same crisp resolution. With its wide view and sophisticated host of tools, Roman will help us discover new exoplanets and untangle cosmic mysteries such as the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

It will make its home in orbit 1 million miles away from Earth at the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point, where gravitational forces balanc...
