NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (NGRST or Roman) will feature two primary instruments, a 300.8-megapixel infrared Wide Field Instrument (WFI) and a Coronagraph designed for studying faint objects, when it launches in 2027. The NASA Goddard team recently installed a vital subsystem for the space telescope's Wide Field Instrument.

A team of astrophysicists has created a simulated image that shows how the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will operate compared to Hubble: it will be able to image an area 300x larger with the same sharp resolution.
