It is transported at night to accommodate the slow-moving specialized transport vehicle called the \"Chariot.\" Within hours of arriving, the lid of the Chariot was removed, and the lower portion was pushed into NASA's largest cleanroom for further unpacking.Designed and built by L3Harris Technologies in Rochester, New York, the assembly incorporates key optics (including the primary mirror) that were made available to NASA by the National Reconnaissance Office. The team at L3Harris then reshaped the mirror and built upon the inherited hardware to ensure it would meet Roman's specifications for expansive, sensitive infrared observations.Roman's primary mirror is 7.9 feet (2.4 meters) across. While it's the same size as the Hubble Space Telescope's main mirror, it is less than one-fourth the weight. Roman's mirror weighs only 410 pounds (186 kilograms) thanks to major improvements in technology.The newly resurfaced mirror sports a layer of silver less than 400 nanometers thick – about 200 times thinner than a human hair. The silver coating was specifically chosen for Roman because of how well it reflects near-infrared light. The primary mirror, in concert with other optics, will send light to Roman's two science instruments – the Wide Field Instrument and Coronagraph Instrument. The first is essentially a giant 300-megapixel camera that provides the same sharp resolution as Hubble across nearly 100 times the field of view. Using this instrument, scientists will be able to map the structure and distribution of invisible dark matter, study planetary systems around other stars, and explore how the universe evolved to its present state. || ", "hits": 48 }, { "id": 14746, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14746/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-01-14T13:00:00-05:00", "title": "Roman SCIPA Hyperwall Time-lapse", "description": "This 3x3-hyperwall-resolution time-lapse video of Roman shows the major integration steps of the key systems to form SCIPA, or the Spacecraft Integrated Payload Assembly.

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] || ", "hits": 256 }, { "id": 14472, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14472/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2023-11-27T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "360 Video of NASA's Webb Telescope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center", "description": "This 360 video was taken before NASA's James Webb Space Telescope left NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in May 2017.

This ongoing process will continue until most of the spacecraft components are assembled. In the meantime, the Goddard team will soon begin installing electronics boxes that will eventually provide power via the harness to all the spacecraft’s science instruments. || ", "hits": 64 }, { "id": 14388, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14388/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2023-07-28T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "OSIRIS-REx Sample Curation Rehearsals", "description": "OSIRIS-REx team members practice extracting samples of asteroid Bennu from the Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) on June 8, 2023.

The spacecraft bus, Roman’s primary support element, will now be built upon this skeletal framework. Roman will help unravel the secrets of dark energy and dark matter, search for and image exoplanets, and explore many topics in infrared astrophysics.It’s partly made up of a central cylinder with a top deck that will support most of the observatory. Each of its six sides has a compartment that will house key electronics and other hardware needed to operate the observatory. Major spacecraft elements, such as its power, attitude control and propulsion systems, will be housed within the primary structure. The high-gain antenna will be installed beneath it, and the lowermost part of the primary structure will attach the spacecraft to the rocket during launch.The structure is mainly made of a special grade of aluminum that’s strong, yet lightweight. To reduce the weight even further, most of its exterior is partly hollowed out in a triangular pattern called an isogrid. Even though it’s large – about 14 feet (4.3 meters) long, 12 feet (3.7 meters) wide, and 6.5 feet (2 meters) tall – the primary structure weighs just 3,600 pounds (1,600 kilograms). || ", "hits": 75 }, { "id": 14342, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14342/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2023-05-01T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Roman's Central Cylinder Enters the Cleanroom", "description": "Music Credits: By Design - Ben BeinyMicroworld - Benji Paul Merrison and Will SlaterComplete transcript available.
