#NASARoman #ExpandOurView
Space Telescope Science Institute staff got a glimpse of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope as nears completion in the cleanroom at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. 🔭 #NASARoman
A man in a blue shirt on the left side of the image gestures toward a large window behind him. Several people watch the man speak on the right and bottom-right of the image. Behind the glass is a large observatory in a very big room.
A crowd of people face away from the camera and look toward a large window. Behind the glass is a large observatory on the right and a banner that reads, “Goddard Space Flight Center” with the NASA logo in the center back wall.
Seen through glass is an up-close view of the large observatory in a very big room.
STScI had the opportunity to visit the #NASARoman observatory in the cleanroom at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. It will undergo several tests before being shipped to Cape Canaveral, Florida, later this year to prepare for launch. Credit: STScI.
This pathfinder shows what’s possible right now with archival JWST data.

🚀Kicking off #AAS247 in style!
@SpaceTelescope hosted a workshop on the #NASARoman #Nexus—a powerful cloud-based platform for exploring its petabyte-scale data. Attendees dove into new workflows, cutting-edge data analysis, and real-time collaboration.
How will you use Nexus?
🚨Get Ready for #AAS247!🚨

The Roman Space Telescope is shown against a space background.
Expansive near-infrared views of the Milky Way taken by #NASARoman are now formally defined and the planning is underway. Learn about all the science that will be made possible by Roman’s Galactic Plane General Astrophysics Survey: bit.ly/4aU4Mdq 🔭☄️
Why will #NASARoman map millions of galaxies and reveal bubble-like cosmic voids? The details of these voids can tell us more about the mysterious force known as dark energy that is causing the universe’s expansion to accelerate: https://bit.ly/4p9sDKI 🔭 🧪

Amazing news for #NASARoman! Congrats to the whole team! 🔭
Two technicians in clean suits inspect a the completed Roman Space Telescope in a clean room at a NASA assembly facility.
NASA has completed the construction of #NASARoman! Last month, technicians joined the inner and outer portions of the observatory in Maryland.
After final testing, Roman will move to the launch site at the Kennedy Space Center for launch preparations in summer 2026: https://go.nasa.gov/48EqnE8 🔭 🧪
Roman Space Telescope's instrument package being moved by a crane inside a cleanroom facility. The package is wrapped in protective silver material and mounted on a large platform.
The nearly complete Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has made another set of critical strides toward launch. This fall, the outer portion passed two tests—a shake test and an intense sound blast—to ensure its successful launch: go.nasa.gov/4ooRM2L #NASARoman 🔭 🧪
Our ears are ringing with stellar news: #NASARoman will be well suited to study red giant stars in the Milky Way’s galactic bulge. Based on simulated data Roman will collect, this sonification converts the waves moving inside these stars into sound: https://bit.ly/3KYZIK8 🔭 🧪

The Roman Galaxy Redshift Survey (GRS) #PIT is building tools to map the cosmos in 3D with #NASARoman.
From simulating galaxy catalogs to modeling systematics, they’re paving the way for large-scale structure measurements that will illuminate the nature of dark energy.
