NASA's Roman telescope completes first maneuver
NASA announced that the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope successfully completed its first course correction maneuver mid-journey towards the second Lagrange Point (L2), aimed at adjusting its trajectory and maintaining the targeted direction in its final orbit. The maneuver began at 12:02 PM Eastern Time and lasted approximately three minutes, marking the first of two planned maneuvers during the mission. The telescope is expected to reach its orbit around L2 after about 100 days from launch, with regular orbital adjustments approximately every 28 days to maintain its course. The mission aims to chart a new map of the universe, explore dark energy, and conduct an unprecedented cosmic survey.
