Roman Space Telescope sends first data to Earth

Original: Teleskop Nancy Grace Roman już przesyła dane na Ziemię, choć regularne obserwacje naukowe dopiero przed nim. Teraz NASA

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has started transmitting data to Earth ahead of the start of its regular science observations. The agency tested whether ground stations could handle the incoming data stream once the telescope begins full operations. The trials involved ground stations operated by three agencies, including Japan's JAXA. The telescope's early data transmissions mark a key step toward the start of its planned survey mission.

Why now: NASA has confirmed the new space telescope is already transmitting data while preparing for full scientific operations, a milestone space enthusiasts are following.
