Every ten years the astronomy community evaluates the top priorities for future science and what missions can best address them – called the Decadal Review.  This figure highlights the prioritized large space-based missions for previous decadal reviews.  The dates listed are the launch dates for each mission.

Comparison of Hubble and expected Rubin Observatory LSST data resolution. (L) BVz color image from the Hubble CANDELS field with θ = 0.1” and r ≈ 28.5. Roman will have comparable resolution. (R) Simulated Rubin LSST image made by degrading Hubble data to Rubin resolution of θ = 0.6”. In the Rubin image, the galaxy is blended with surrounding objects. Correlating overlapping Rubin and Roman imagery would make it possible to develop machine learning algorithms to deblend Rubin imagery that does not overlap with Roman.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will partner with other observatories such as JWST, the Hubble Space Telescope, and Vera Rubin Observatory to help solve some of the universe’s greatest mysteries. The synergy will produce results greater than anything that could be achieved by any one telescope.
