Good news from our future telescope teammate Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope – its mirrors passed vision testing!
Roman has a primary mirror the same size as Hubble’s primary mirror, but with a larger field-of-view to gather sweeping survey observations of our universe once it launches in 2027. ⬇️
For Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, it's a game of micrometers, not inches (that's the level of precision required to pass its latest optical test). Learn about NASA's Roman telescope and how it'll help us better understand dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics. go.nasa.gov/3JmgoqF
Propulsion tanks 🤝 primary structure
These two Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope components have been integrated at the NASA Goddard clean room. While this video may be a minute long, the process took several hours to ensure the fit is just right!
The pieces are coming together! Roman's propulsion tanks have been integrated into the spacecraft's primary structure in the NASA Goddard clean room.
The 4 tanks will carry almost 300 gallons of hydrazine fuel – enough to support 10+ years of observations.

As NASA’s first Chief of Astronomy, Dr. Nancy Grace Roman (1925–2018) made the Hubble Space Telescope a reality. This video describes some challenges she faced as she paved the way for women in the sciences. #MeetDrRoman #WomensHistoryMonth
JPL was proud to work with Kepler – and we look forward to continuing its legacy of exoplanet discovery with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument.
This tech demo could vastly increase the number of exoplanets that scientists can directly observe: go.nasa.gov/438JmmR
Trailblazer Dr. Nancy Grace Roman (1925–2018) paved the way for space telescopes and for women in the sciences. She made the Hubble Space Telescope a reality.
In this video, Dr. Joan Gordon paints an intimate picture of her close friend. #MeetDrRoman #WomensHistoryMonth
I was excited to see how we're making progress toward the wide-eyed Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Telescope that will unveil the cosmos in ways that have never been possible before!
Guess who was roman'ing around NASA Goddard? @NASA's Administrator Bill Nelson stopped by to check out the progress of our next flagship astro mission, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
Set to launch by May 2027 - learn more about the mission: nasa.gov/Roman
A Webb honey-filled chocolate, just for us?
You're too sweet, Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope! 🍯
Single? Taken? It’s complicated?
