  • NASA Calibration Instrument Records First Measurements in Space

    NASA’s Calibration Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory Pathfinder, or CLARREO Pathfinder mission, reached a significant milestone this summer by achieving first light. First light showcases a mission’s ability to successfully power on and capture data, in this case detailed spectral data, validating years of preparation and pre-launch testing. This moment marks the first time the […]

  • NASA’s Roman Launch Preparations Proceed

    With less than two months until the launch of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, engineers at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida are preparing the observatory for its trip to space. Inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, technicians used large cranes to carefully lift Roman and place it onto a specialized work platform, known […]
