Roman's Instrument Carrier Arrives

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's Instrument Carrier arrives at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The workers remove the grid-like structure from the truck container that brought it and move it into a clean tent.

The Instrument Carrier sits between the primary mirror and spacecraft bus and will hold Roman's Wide Field Instrument and Coronagraph technology demonstration.
