The mission has now received its final major delivery: the Optical Telescope Assembly, which includes a 7.9-foot (2.4-meter) primary mirror, nine additional mirrors, and supporting structures and ...

When stacked and integrated, these components will form the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. The assembly of the telescope ramped up this fall, with 600 workers aiming to get everything ...

By introducing a secondary mirror and a surrounding shroud, the antenna is less likely to pick up noisy radio radiation from the (relatively hot) ground surrounding the telescope. Moving the reflector ...

The telescope has a lot of assembly and other work ahead of it before it finally takes to space atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket two years down the line and begins to perform that work.

As the agency's SPHEREx space telescope and PUNCH solar mission rode toward their orbital stations tonight (March 11) at ...

We put Starfield Optics' flagship Géar telescope — the Starfield Géar 115 Triplet APO — to the test. It did not disappoint.

The telescope’s infrared detectors will be able to distinguish 102 colors invisible to the human eye, yielding the most colorful, inclusive map ever made of the cosmos.

Really the only part of Hubble that has been constant over its service life has been the Optical Telescope Assembly, consisting of the famously misground primary mirror, a secondary mirror ...

The laser launch telescope is the optical tube assembly (OTA) portion of the Laser Projection System (LPS). For VLT, ESO itself designed and built the LPS Beam Conditioning and Diagnostic System (BCDS ...

NASA is set to launch SPHEREx, a groundbreaking telescope that will create the most precise and colorful map of the universe. This telescope will capture detailed spectroscopic images in infrared ...

Only then, when your dust can pose no danger to the delicate machine in the center of the room, can you join the Nancy Grace Roman Space telescope on the factory floor. There, technicians are busy ...
