🎶 You spin one wheel in, you turn the next wheel out, you pivot another wheel upside down, and you turn Roman all about 🎶

Roman's eight reaction wheels will rotate the spacecraft with great precision to point at specific areas of the sky.

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

Roman's 'eyes' have passed their vision test!

The Imaging Optics Assembly, IOA, consists of 10 mirrors that must be aligned perfectly to direct light to the science instruments to obtain the most precise images.

Next steps: environmental testing! go.nasa.gov/3JmgoqF

Our mini Roman saw a total solar eclipse at the Indy Speedway!
Did you know the first coronagraph was designed to look at our Sun? It blocked out the light to study the corona.
Roman's Coronagraph will block out the light of distant stars to uncover planets hidden around them!

NASA NASA Citizen Science FACT: NASAGoddard is building our next generation space telescope right now! With a star blocker called a Coronagraph from NASAJPL, NASARoman will test technology to take pictures of exoplanets! go.nasa.gov/43IBWHB

We couldn't end #WomensHistoryMonth without paying homage to our namesake, the late Dr. Nancy Grace Roman.

Dr. Roman was a pioneer in space-based observations who elevated the field of astrophysics. #WHM

#ICYMI Roman's primary structure, also known as the spacecraft bus, and propulsion tanks have been integrated.

Wondering what those tiny red covers are? They house thrusters, which will tilt the telescope to observe specific areas of the cosmos. 📸 NASA/ Chris Gunn

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.

Roman's fast surveying speeds, Hubble-like resolution, wide field of view, and optical and infrared capabilities will capture the Milky Way like never before! 🌌

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

Black scientists and engineers have made countless contributions to the astro community.
People like Dr. Beth Brown, Dr. Harvey Washington Banks, Sheri Thorn, Sanetra Bailey, and Dr. Greg Mosby will allow Roman to give us a new view of our universe. #BHM bit.ly/49zmmjt

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?
