Roman High-Gain Antenna Dish Integration

  • Released Friday, September 8, 2023

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s high-gain antenna system has been integrated onto the spacecraft’s communications panel. The almost-6-foot dish is integral to Roman’s communications process; once Roman is launched, the dish will “beam down” data to ground systems across the globe.
