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, have finished assembling the spacecraft’s giant camera. Called the Wide Field Instrument , 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.
After completing final integration, Ball Aerospace technicians transport the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s Wide Field Instrument into Ball’s largest thermal vacuum chamber to begin environmental testing at a Ball facility in Boulder, Colorado.An X-ray view of Roman’s Wide Field Instrument, currently wrapped in a multi-layer insulation for testing, reveals the complex inner workings.
