About this Event
Revealing the Universe with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is the NASA Astrophysics Division’s next flagship mission. Roman will conduct surveys of the sky to help reveal some of our Universe’s most interesting mysteries—what are the properties of dark matter, how is dark energy in the Universe changing, and what are the demographics of extrasolar planets? The Roman Space Telescope has two instruments, the Wide Field Instrument, and a coronagraph instrument, a technology demonstration, that will help us understand our Universe, its content, and how our Universe has changed with time in unprecedented detail. Roman’s instruments, its telescope optics, and its spacecraft have just been integrated at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The integrated instruments and spacecraft will be tested in the summer of 2025. The full observatory will then be assembled. Roman is set to launch no later than 2027.
