NASA apne agle bade space telescope ko isi saal September mein launch karne ki planning kar raha hai. Ye telescope Hubble Space Telescope ka successor hai aur iska kaam universe ke zyada bade hisse ko ek baar mein dekhna hoga.
Kya hai Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope?
NASA ka ye naya telescope Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope ke naam se jaana jata hai, jise short mein 'Roman' bhi kaha jata hai. Is telescope ka naam NASA ki pehli chief astronomer Nancy Grace Roman ke naam par rakha gaya hai, jinko Hubble telescope ki 'mother' maana jata hai. Original story ke mutabiq, is telescope ko 2016 mein introduce kiya gaya tha, jab iska naam Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) tha.
Hubble se 100 guna bada nazariya
Is telescope ki sabse badi khaasiat ye hai ki ye Hubble se kai guna zyada efficient hai. Original story ke mutabiq, Roman telescope ka mirror Hubble ke mirror ke barabar size ka hai, lekin ye akash mein kam se kam 100 guna zyada bada area ek baar mein capture kar sakta hai. Matlab, jahan Hubble ek chhoti jagah ki detail dekh pata tha, wahan Roman 100 guna zyada bade area ki tasveer lene ki capacity rakhega.
September launch aur backup plan
NASA ne is telescope ke liye early September ki launch date target ki hai. Ye date iski earliest possible launch window hai. Lekin agar kisi wajah se September mein launch nahi ho pata, toh NASA ke paas backup plan hai. Agency ne clearly kaha hai ki ye telescope May 2027 se pehle zaroor launch ho jayega. Isse launch karne ke liye SpaceX ka Falcon Heavy rocket use kiya jayega.
Hamaari Baat: Space exploration ka naya daur
Seedha baat karein toh, Roman telescope ka launch space science ke liye ek bada kadam hoga. Hubble ne jo kaam 30 saal tak kiya, uska scale ab badhne wala hai. 100 guna bada view ka matlab hai ki scientists ko universe ki nayi phenomena samajhne mein aasani hogi, dark energy jaise mysteries solve karne mein madad milegi. NASA ka September target ambitious hai, lekin May 2027 tak ka backup window realistic lagta hai. Agar sab kuch plan ke mutabiq hua, toh is saal ke end tak hum ek nayi space observatory orbit mein dekhenge jo humari nazar ko aur door aur chaurase tak pahunchayegi.
