Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

Jessica Rzeszut

May 6, 2026

 

NASA Solar System Ambassador Jessica Rzeszut will present an overview and update on the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and its mission to investigate dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets through wide-field infrared imaging. 

Jessica joined the NASA Solar System Ambassador program in 2021 to continue learning about space exploration with her neighbors and community.  She is a lifelong space enthusiast with over a decade of professional marketing and communications experience. Her fascination, appreciation and enthusiasm for space spans entertainment, art, literature and fashion, and was ignited when, as a child, she was encouraged to consider the consequences of whether we are alone in the Universe, or not. Jessica is committed to continuing the conversation about space exploration with her neighbors and her community, and dedicated to inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers.
