Roman Solar Panel Installation

Caption

This photo captures the installation of the test solar panels for NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which took place in March. One panel is lifted in the center of the frame on its way to being attached to the outer barrel assembly at right. The deployable aperture cover is stowed on the front of the outer barrel assembly, and the other half of the observatory –– the spacecraft and integrated payload assembly, which consists of the telescope, instrument carrier, and two instruments –– appears at the left of the photo.
