Roman Space Telescope

This photograph was taken on 21 August 2026 at Kennedy Space Center, inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, looking up from the floor of the Falcon Heavy fairing while the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope was being closed in. The silver foil on the stack, the dark instrument grid, and the acoustic tiles that line the curve of the fairing are all in the frame, the observatory shielded for rollout and for the climb.

Roman was built at NASA Goddard as a wide infrared survey telescope, with a 2.4-meter mirror the same size as Hubble’s and a field of view at least a hundred times larger. Each frame is meant to take in a patch of sky Hubble would need many pointings to cover.

Falcon Heavy left LC-39A at 7:26am ET on 30 August 2026. The observatory separated at 7:58am and is on its way to Sun–Earth L2 for a five-year primary mission to measure dark energy, map galaxies, and find planets around other stars. This is the hardware on the ground the day the fairing closed around it, nine days before it flew.

Glossy metal print. 12 × 12 in. Dye-infused into aluminum, not paper under glass. A hidden float mount sits the panel ½ in off the wall. Made to order in the US and ships in the US.

You get the aluminum print itself, with the photograph dye-infused into the metal. The float mount is already on the back. Hang it from a screw or nail that fits the slot; no separate frame.

It ships in rigid packaging so the edges and face stay protected. Keep the wrap on until you hang it.

We ship metal prints in the United States only.

Each print is made to order in the US. Production usually takes a few days. Then it travels by ground. On the product page we say packed rigid, ships in 5-8 days from order. The exact ship cost shows at checkout. Free freight over $250.

If yours arrives damaged, or it is the wrong still, email studio@totalityprints.com with photos of the print and the box. We will reprint it or refund you. We do not take returns on a print that arrived as ordered.
