NASA is set to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope at the end of August. The primary mirror of this cosmic spy satellite was originally developed by the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) for Earth-monitoring satellites. After canceling the spy satellite program due to delays and budget overruns, the NRO donated the two space telescopes to NASA in 2012.
