Summary
| Description | B-roll and sound bites for media and public use. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California have finished building the Roman Coronagraph Instrument on NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and recently shipped the instrument to the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. As part of the Roman Space Telescope, the Coronagraph Instrument will help pave the way for the search for life beyond Earth by testing new tools that block starlight, revealing planets hidden in the glare of their host star. The space observatory is expected to launch in 2027. The Roman Coronagraph is a technology demonstration that will test hardware that can remove more unwanted starlight than other space coronagraphs. This coronagraph uses multiple movable components that will make it the first “active” coronagraph ever to fly in space. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is managed at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, with participation by JPL and C |
