The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has arrived at the Space Coast! Carried inside NASA's Pegasus barge, this new telescope is set to launch on Falcon Heavy later this year.
@pronounced_kyle I didn’t know that NASA had a barge, but I am now obsessed with the NASA barge.
@mualphaxi @pronounced_kyle The Pegasus barge replaced the Poseidon and Orion barges that served the Saturn program and has been in service since 1999 when it served the Shuttle program. I'll just leave this here to feed that new obsession. 😉
Oh, there were recovery ships too!
