The room is a class 10,000 clean room with over one million cubic feet of space.The outside half of Roman, called OSD, contains the solar panels and protective layers. The Deployable Aperture Cover, which protects the mirrors during launch and then unfolds to help shield them from sunlight does a test deployment. During this test, lines connect to it and pull upward to negate Earth’s gravitational forces, which Roman will not experience in space. Then the Solar Array Sun Shield panels deploy. There are four panels that move. They fold against the spacecraft to fit inside the rocket fairing and then deploy in space to make a large flat plane that both collects light to generate electricity and helps keep the rest of Roman cool.In preparation for additional testing, technicians put a clean tent over OSD and transport it out of the clean room. They push it into the acoustic test chamber where a six-foot-tall horn projects up to 150-decibel sound at varying frequencies. The other tests are on two vibration tables that shake Roman along all three axes: up/down, left/right, and forward/backward. Engineers attach hundreds of sensors and run tests of increasing intensity. During and after each test, they carefully study the data to make sure that Roman is behaving as they anticipated.While these tests occur, Roman’s inside half, containing the mirrors, instruments and support equipment, move into Goddard’s largest thermal vacuum chamber, the SES (Space Environment Simulator). This 40-foot-tall chamber can simulate the vacuum of space and the wide temperature range that Roman will experience there: from -310° Fahrenheit (-190° C) to 302° Fahrenheit (150° C). The move to the chamber happens without a clean tent, so the entire path was cleaned, and all the workers dress in full clean-room garb to ensure that no dirt contaminates the sensitive parts of the spacecraft. Once the two layers of doors are sealed, Roman spends 72 days inside running through tests at various temperatures and with equipment turned on to ensure that it works at low temperature in a vacuum. A special array installed above the mirror projects light that engineers use to test the optics and sensors.After leaving the SES chamber and returning to the SSDIF, Roman’s primary and secondary mirrors are carefully cleaned and inspected. It is a balance to get the mirrors as clean as possible while not cleaning too aggressively and damaging the delicate surfaces. The mirrors are cleaned both horizontally with a gentle vacuum cleaner and vertically with brushes. After this cleaning, every inch is visually inspected and photographed to record the exact optical characteristics. This was the last time the primary mirror would be accessible.Finally, in late November, Roman’s two halves are joined together to form the complete observatory. The process takes the better part of a day. Two guide poles are installed on the inside half to help direct OSD down onto it. At various times, the clearances between the two halves are only a few inches. With the observatory complete, it begins preparing for another round of deployments and testing.Music credit: “Our Journey Begins,” Dan Thiessen [BMI], Universal Production MusicWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. || YTframe_Roman_Hardware_Highlights_SummerFall2025_3.jpg (1280x720) [473.7 KB] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_10mbps.mp4 (1920x1080) [185.0 MB] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_25mbps.mp4 (1920x1080) [452.7 MB] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_YT.mp4 (1920x1080) [880.2 MB] || RomanHHLate2025Captions.en_US.srt [588 bytes] || RomanHHLate2025Captions.en_US.vtt [570 bytes] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_ProRes_1920x1080_2997.mov (1920x1080) [2.5 GB] || ", "release_date": "2023-12-26T00:00:00-05:00", "update_date": "2026-03-18T07:20:12-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 1095797, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014400/a014491/Harware_Highlights_Still.jpg", "filename": "Harware_Highlights_Still.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Series thumbnail", "width": 1920, "height": 1080, "pixels": 2073600 } } }, { "id": 489596, "type": "media_group", "extra_data": null, "title": "NASA Interview Opportunity: Watch A Red Moon Dance Across The Sky THIS Friday", "caption": "Quick Summary \nGet ready to watch the Moon turn red!

But thanks to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, we’re now seeing this legendary storm in a whole new light. Recent observations show that the Great Red Spot is wobbling and fluctuating in size.Captured in high-resolution images over 90 days, Hubble’s data reveals the storm speeding up, slowing down, and changing shape—surprising even seasoned scientists. The team predicts that the storm will continue to shrink and eventually stabilize, but right now, it’s still full of dynamic surprises.Discover how these new findings could help us understand extreme weather not just on Jupiter, but on Earth and distant exoplanets too.

Scientists call this mysterious outflow the “polar wind,” and for almost 60 years, spacecraft have been flying through it as scientists have theorized about its cause. The leading theory was that a planet-wide electric field was drawing those particles up into space. But this so-called ambipolar electric field, if it exists, is so weak that all attempts to measure it have failed – until now.In 2022, scientists traveled to Svalbard, a small archipelago in Norway, to launch a rocket in an attempt to measure Earth’s ambipolar electric field for the first time. This was NASA’s Endurance rocketship mission, and this is its story.To learn more, visit: https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/nasa-discovers-long-sought-global-electric-field-on-earth/ || ", "release_date": "2024-08-28T11:30:00-04:00", "update_date": "2024-08-28T11:37:52.179001-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 1096850, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014600/a014628/Thumbnail02.jpg", "filename": "Thumbnail02.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Discovering Earth's Third Global Energy FieldWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available.Music credit: \"Atoms in Motion\" by Phillip John Gregory [PRS], “Curious By Nature” by Eddie Saffron [PRS], “Perfect Vibes” by Thomas Gallicani [SACEM], “Natural Response” by Jonathan Elisa [ASCAP] and Sarah Trevino [ASCAP] from Universal Production MusicSound effects: Pixabay", "width": 1280, "height": 720, "pixels": 921600 } } }, { "id": 489605, "type": "details_page", "extra_data": null, "instance": { "id": 14843, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14843/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Webb Spies Rain Clouds, New Molecule on Titan", "description": "NASA’s Webb Telescope has discovered a new molecule in Titan’s atmosphere – one that may have implications for the future of this surprisingly Earthlike world.Complete transcript available.Universal Production Music: “Barfuß Durch Die Stadt” by Edgar Möller [GEMA] and Lucia Wilke [GEMA]; “Into the Void” by Gage Boozan [ASCAP]; “Pulse of Progress” by Emma Zarobyan [SOCAN]; “Playing With The Narrative” by Cathleen Flynn [ASCAP] and Micah Barnes [BMI]; “Back From The Brink” by Daniel Gunnar Louis Trachtenberg [PRS]Watch this video on the James Webb Space Telescope YouTube channel. || Webb_Titan_Climate_Thumbnail_print.jpg (1024x576) [189.4 KB] || Webb_Titan_Climate_Thumbnail.jpg (1280x720) [872.3 KB] || Webb_Titan_Climate_Thumbnail.png (1280x720) [1.3 MB] || Webb_Titan_Climate_Thumbnail_searchweb.png (320x180) [88.6 KB] || Webb_Titan_Climate_Thumbnail_thm.png [6.7 KB] || 14843_Webb_Titan_Climate_720.mp4 (1280x720) [77.0 MB] || 14843_Webb_Titan_Climate_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [431.4 MB] || WebbTitanClimate.en_US.srt [7.3 KB] || WebbTitanClimate.en_US.vtt [6.9 KB] || 14843_Webb_Titan_Climate_4K.mp4 (3840x2160) [4.9 GB] || 14843_Webb_Titan_Climate_ProRes.mov (3840x2160) [29.0 GB] || ", "release_date": "2025-05-14T08:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2025-05-14T13:11:10-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 1155076, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014800/a014843/Webb_Titan_Climate_Thumbnail.jpg", "filename": "Webb_Titan_Climate_Thumbnail.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "NASA’s Webb Telescope has discovered a new molecule in Titan’s atmosphere – one that may have implications for the future of this surprisingly Earthlike world.Complete transcript available.Universal Production Music: “Barfuß Durch Die Stadt” by Edgar Möller [GEMA] and Lucia Wilke [GEMA]; “Into the Void” by Gage Boozan [ASCAP]; “Pulse of Progress” by Emma Zarobyan [SOCAN]; “Playing With The Narrative” by Cathleen Flynn [ASCAP] and Micah Barnes [BMI]; “Back From The Brink” by Daniel Gunnar Louis Trachtenberg [PRS]Watch this video on the James Webb Space Telescope YouTube channel.", "width": 1280, "height": 720, "pixels": 921600 } } }, { "id": 489606, "type": "media_group", "extra_data": null, "title": "NASA's Illuminate Series (2025)", "caption": "NASA's Illuminate is a video series about out-of-this-world images that shine light on our Sun and solar system.", "instance": { "id": 1151976, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014700/a014779/Thumbnail01_searchweb.png", "filename": "Thumbnail01_searchweb.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "A Kaleidoscope SunNASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has been watching the Sun for 15 years — and this spacecraft sees much more than meets the eye!
