NASA’s Roman Space Telescope’s Coronagraph Passes Key Tests in the Search for Exoplanets

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to revolutionize the study of exoplanets with its innovative Coronagraph Instrument. The instrument, which has been developed and tested at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, recently passed critical tests ahead of its planned launch. These tests ensure that the instrument’s electrical components do not interfere with the rest of the observatory, allowing scientists to directly observe planets outside our solar system.
