NASA has officially opened the media accreditation process for two major upcoming space missions: the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the SpaceX Crew-13 flight to the International Space Station.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is currently scheduled for liftoff no earlier than 7:20 a.m. EDT on Sunday, August 30. The observatory, which is designed to capture expansive, high-resolution images of the cosmos, will launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Following this, the Crew-13 mission is targeted for a mid-September launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This mission marks NASA's 13th commercial crew rotation, utilizing a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft. The crew includes NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov, who will conduct scientific research aboard the space station.
Journalists wishing to cover these events must adhere to specific application deadlines. International media representatives without U.S. citizenship are required to apply by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, July 26. U.S. media members and U.S. citizens representing international organizations have until 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, July 30, to submit their requests.
