"A high point of our journey [has been] witnessing the entire telescope come together as an aligned system — a moment that crystallized years of dedication from hundreds of individuals."
Scientists working on NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope have achieved a significant milestone in assembling the next-generation observatory, which aims to address critical questions about dark matter, exoplanets and infrared astrophysics. "Roman's technology and scientific capabilities will also serve as the next critical step towards the Habitable Worlds Observatory, which would enhance our understanding of the universe even further and advance the search for planets that could support life." The entire telescope was then subjected to rigorous tests designed to simulate the intense shaking and vibrations it will endure during launch, ensuring it arrives in its desired orbit intact and functions as intended.
