Media invited to cover Roman Space Telescope arrival at Kennedy

Registration is open for media to cover the arrival of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The observatory will arrive aboard NASA’s Pegasus barge from Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, where its construction, assembly and testing were completed.

Credentialed media may witness the arrival and unloading of the telescope in its transport container at Kennedy’s turn basin, after which technicians will move it to the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility for launch processing. NASA subject matter experts will be on site to answer questions.

Media must apply for credentials at https://media.ksc.nasa.gov by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 4; this opportunity is open to U.S. citizens only. Approved applicants will receive a confirmation email and further information, including the specific date of arrival activities.
