Can’t wait to see what this cool telescope discovers and shares with us

✅🛰️ Roman poursuit avec succès le déploiement et l’activation de ses systèmes en orbite.
Le télescope spatial Nancy Grace Roman de la NASA poursuit sa phase de mise en service avec la validation de plusieurs nouvelles opérations essentielles, le rapprochant progressivement du début de sa mission scientifique :
🔹 L’antenne à grand gain s’est déployée avec succès le 31 août au terme d’une opération d’environ 4 min, achevée à 18h03 UTC. Large de 1,7 m pour seulement 11 kg, cette antenne en composite de carbone permettra au télescope de transmettre vers la Terre le plus important volume de données jamais généré par une mission d’astrophysique de la NASA, avec un débit scientifique pouvant atteindre 500 Mbit/s.
🔹 Le couvercle d’ouverture déployable a été ouvert avec succès le 1er septembre au terme d’une opération d’environ 8 min, achevée à 10h05 UTC. Ce vaste pare-soleil, déployé grâce à trois bras activés électroniquement, est conçu pour empêcher la lumière parasite de pénétrer dans le télescope.
🔹 L’instrument coronographique a également été activé dans le cadre de cette phase de mise en service. Grâce à un ensemble de masques, prismes, détecteurs et miroirs déformables, il pourra bloquer l’éblouissement des étoiles afin d’observer directement les exoplanètes et les disques qui les entourent.
🔹 L’instrument à grand champ, principal instrument scientifique de Roman, sera à son tour mis sous tension dans les prochaines semaines. Les différents instruments feront ensuite l’objet d’une série de calibrations et de tests avant le début des opérations scientifiques.
👉 Cette phase de mise en service, prévue pour durer environ 3 mois, doit préparer le début de la mission scientifique. La NASA prévoit de publier les premières images de Roman au début de l’année 2027.

Safe travels, Roman!
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's wide-field views will change what we know about the universe! Its complementary capabilities to Hubble and @NASAWebb make it a powerful new member of NASA's telescope team.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has officially launched and is heading to its forever home at L2!
Over the next three months, the observatory will perform final checks and power its instruments before revealing its first images by early 2027.

This is soooo cool @heyacey!! 😎
🎉So exciting! So proud of you! Can’t wait to see the discoveries this telescope will share! 🔭🪐🌌#ToTheUniverseAndBeyond #CoolSpaceStuff #DeepSpaceStuff #DiscoveriesInSpace #AreThereOthersOutThere #NancyGraceRomanSpaceTelescope
Shades on and batteries charging! 😎 🔋
Roman’s Solar Array Sun Shield and Lower Instrument Sun Shade have successfully deployed, powering the observatory and shading its instruments!

Snowcrete! Love the name, but hate what it is
When is this "snowcrete" nonsense going to finally MELT?
Wouldn't surprise us if some of it is still hanging around in MARCH.
The prolonged cold has largely prevented the frozen conglomeration that fell on Sunday from melting, and there’s no sign of a meaningful thaw or rainstorm to erode it anytime soon.
As temperatures moderate next week, some limited melting may occur along the surface of the snowpack — especially on sunnier afternoons. But the concrete-like slabs of snow and ice will refreeze each night when lows fall back into the teens and 20s.
The amount of frozen precipitation that fell Sunday contained water equivalent to roughly a 20-inch snowstorm, but in a far more compacted form. What remains may only be 4 to 6 inches thick, yet it is so dense that it will require a significant amount of heat energy to melt. Unless the region experiences a rapid warmup and/or a soaking rainstorm, much of it could linger well into February.
And those towering piles in parking lots? Some of them may still be around in March.

At the NTIA listening session, @CoSN reminded policymakers that #EdTech done right isn’t just about devices, it’s about wellbeing.
When schools design tech use around connection, safety, and purpose, digital learning helps kids thrive, not just log on.
