- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Nasa and SpaceX have completed the final launch readiness review for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. The observatory is scheduled to launch on Sunday, June 30, at 7:26 a.m. Eastern Time from the Kennedy Space Center. The telescope will be carried by a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. According to the U.S. Space Force Delta 45 Weather Squadron, there is a 60 percent probability of favorable weather conditions for the takeoff.
The mission aims to investigate dark matter and dark energy, map billions of galaxies, and study black holes. The telescope is also expected to discover and characterize thousands of planets beyond our solar system. The project represents a 4.3 billion dollar investment. This mission marks the sixth primary Nasa mission utilizing a SpaceX Falcon rocket from the Kennedy Space Center, following previous missions such as Europa Clipper, Psyche, and IMAP.
