Primary instrument for NASA's Roman completed, begins tests
Wednesday, 13 September 2023 19:37
A team of engineers and technicians at Ball Aerospace, one of the industry partners for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, has finished assembling the spacecraft's giant camera. Called the Wide Field Instrument (WFI), this state-of-the-art tool will enable astronomers to explore the cosmos from the outskirts of our solar system to the edge of the observable universe.
"The year-long integration effort culminates in the instrument's first baseline performance testing, where we turn on the instrument to ensure it's working as expected," said Mary Walker, Roman's WFI instrument manager at Goddard.
