    NASA has selected SpaceX to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
    on a Falcon Heavy, but at a price significantly higher than most
    previous agency contracts.

    NASA announced July 19 that it awarded a contract to SpaceX to launch
    Roman on the company’s Falcon Heavy rocket in October 2026 from the
    Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The contract is valued at $255 million
    for the launch and other mission-related costs.
