Places, please! 🎭 NASA engineers completed an environmental testing dress rehearsal to prepare for the thermal vacuum test for Roman's Spacecraft Integrated Payload Assembly, or SCIPA. 📸 NASA/Chris Gunn

This month went by fast, but not as fast as this new exoplanet scientists may have discovered! Hitching a ride in a speedy star's orbit, this exoplanet is estimated to be traveling through the galaxy at 1.2 million miles per hour! go.nasa.gov/3D1MOHD

"She was a fairy" 🧚✨🎶 Check out this sonification of a simulated Roman observation of exploding stars called supernovae. Studying the light emitted from these stars will allow scientists to better understand dark energy and its effect on our universe. go.nasa.gov/3FvAyjc

After launch, Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will survey the sky and discover new objects and events as they appear. Our Swift telescope will quickly follow up in multiple wavelengths of light. Some of these discoveries could even represent entirely new classes of astrophysical objects! #Swift20

Roman has officially entered its SASS-y era 💅 The Solar Array Sun Shield, or SASS, test panels have joined Roman’s outer shell! After environmental testing, they will be swapped for the flight SASS. Learn about test hardware: go.nasa.gov/4c9eA24

Roman is as cool as it gets ❄️ Roman’s outer half — the outer barrel assembly, sunshade, and test solar panels — passed a critical test to ensure its proper function in space. Over a couple of weeks, this assembly faced intense space-like temperatures and extremely low
