Roman Space Telescope Assembly Animation

This animation shows key systems assembling to form NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. It starts with the spacecraft bus and then adds the instrument carrier. Then the Coronagraph Instrument joins, followed by the mirror assembly and the Wide Field Instrument, completing the main half of the observatory. The outer portion, which contains the outer barrel assembly, solar array Sun shield, and deployable aperture cover, slides over the exposed mirror to complete the full observatory. This animation includes a version with a transparent alpha channel.

This animation shows the assembly of the outer portion of NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, known as the OSD. It consists of the Outer barrel assembly, the Solar array Sun shield, and the Deployable aperture cover, which collectively slides over the exposed mirror to form the complete observatory. This animation includes a version with a transparent alpha channel.

Same as the above but with the lower instrument sun shield (LISS) panels included.
