Space watchers along Florida's Space Coast had plenty to talk about this week, starting with a SpaceX sonic boom that made its presence known across the region. Sonic booms are a familiar — if still startling — soundtrack for residents near Kennedy Space Center, and this latest one was no exception.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope also earned a spotlight in this week's coverage. NASA's wide-field observatory has been generating excitement among astronomers for its potential to survey vast stretches of the universe in ways previous telescopes simply couldn't manage.
Rounding out the week's big stories is Starship, SpaceX's next-generation rocket system, which drew attention for an ocean landing milestone. Starship continues to be one of the most closely watched vehicles in modern spaceflight as the company works toward more ambitious launch goals.
All three stories are featured in 321 Launch, Florida Today's weekly space newsletter, which keeps Space Coast readers current on the launches, missions, and developments shaping the future of spaceflight. This summary is based on reporting from Florida Today.
