Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launch
Tuesday 1st September, 2026
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is NASA’s next big infrared observatory, set to launch in early September 2026 to map huge swathes of the sky and study dark energy, exoplanets and galaxy evolution. This gives Lego’s PR team a natural hook to join conversations about space exploration and STEM education globally (including the UK) by highlighting creative, educational play that inspires future scientists and engineers.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong alignment: the launch is a high-profile moment in space and STEM that Lego can tie to creativity, education and future scientists with planned product features, STEM activity kits, classroom resources and reactive commentary from Lego education experts.
