When NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launches in October 2026, it won't just be peering into the distant universe to study dark energy and exoplanets. This powerful observatory will also serve...

Technicians have successfully installed two sunshields onto NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's inner segment. Along with the observatory's Solar Array Sun Shield and Deployable Aperture Cover, the panels (together called the Lower Instrument Sun Shade) will play a critical role in keeping Roman's instruments cool and stable as the mission explores the infrared universe.

One half of NASA’s nearly complete Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope just passed a lengthy test to ensure it will function properly in the space environment.

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has achieved a significant milestone with the successful integration of its deployable sunshade, a critical component designed to enhance the observatory's sensitivity to faint cosmic light.

This 3x3-hyperwall-resolution time-lapse video of Roman shows the major integration steps of the key systems to form SCIPA, or the Spacecraft Integrated Payload Assembly. It includes the spacecraft bu...
