I think I can, I think I can... we know Roman will! 🚂💨 Getting all 18,000 lbs of the Roman Space Telescope to L2 is no small feat! But 24 thrusters, each about the size of a large egg, will propel the spacecraft a million miles away to the same location as @NASAWebb.
CORRECTION: there are six reaction wheels that will rotate Roman once it’s at L2.
CORRECTION: there are six reaction wheels that will rotate Roman once it’s at L2.
🎶 You spin one wheel in, you turn the next wheel out, you pivot another wheel upside down, and you turn Roman all about 🎶 Roman's eight reaction wheels will rotate the spacecraft with great precision to point at specific areas of the sky. Progress: go.nasa.gov/3xOq0br
Good news from our future telescope teammate @NASARoman – its mirrors passed vision testing! Roman has a primary mirror the same size as Hubble’s primary mirror, but with a larger field-of-view to gather sweeping survey observations of our universe once it launches in 2027. ⬇️

For @NASARoman, it's a game of micrometers, not inches (that's the level of precision required to pass its latest optical test). Learn about NASA's Roman telescope and how it'll help us better understand dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics. go.nasa.gov/3JmgoqF
Roman's "eyes" have passed their vision test! The Imaging Optics Assembly, IOA, consists of 10 mirrors that must be aligned perfectly to direct light to the science instruments to obtain the most precise images. Next steps: environmental testing! go.nasa.gov/3JmgoqF
Our mini Roman saw a total solar eclipse at the Indy Speedway! Did you know the first coronagraph was designed to look at our Sun? It blocked out the light to study the corona. Roman's Coronagraph will block out the light of distant stars to uncover planets hidden around them!
@NASA @DoNASAScience FACT: @NASAGoddard is building our next generation space telescope right now! With a star blocker called a Coronagraph from @NASAJPL, @NASARoman will test technology to take pictures of exoplanets! go.nasa.gov/43IBWHB
We couldn't end #WomensHistoryMonth without paying homage to our namesake, the late Dr. Nancy Grace Roman. Dr. Roman was a pioneer in space-based observations who elevated the field of astrophysics. #WHM Learn more about Dr. Roman: go.nasa.gov/3PJksot
#ICYMI Roman's primary structure, also known as the spacecraft bus, and propulsion tanks have been integrated. Wondering what those tiny red covers are? They house thrusters, which will tilt the telescope to observe specific areas of the cosmos. 📸 NASA/ Chris Gunn
Propulsion tanks 🤝 primary structure These two Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope components have been integrated at the @NASAGoddard clean room. While this video may be a minute long, the process took several hours to ensure the fit is just right!
The pieces are coming together! Roman's propulsion tanks have been integrated into the spacecraft's primary structure in the @NASAGoddard clean room. The 4 tanks will carry almost 300 gallons of hydrazine fuel – enough to support 10+ years of observations. 📸 NASA/Chris Gunn
Roman's fast surveying speeds, Hubble-like resolution, wide field of view, and optical and infrared capabilities will capture the Milky Way like never before! 🌌 Learn more about the galactic plane survey: go.nasa.gov/3wYMCVT
