NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, built partly using repurposed spy satellite hardware, is set to launch in September — eight months early and under budget. It will capture infrared images 100 times wider than Hubble's, sending 1.4 terabytes of data daily to study dark energy, exoplanets, and early galaxy formation.
