Nancy Grace Roman, standing here in front of a 1/6-scale model of the Hubble Space Telescope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, is known to many as the "Mother of Hubble" for her foundational role in the observatory's planning and program structure, paving the way for missions like the Roman Space Telescope (formerly WFIRST). | Credit: NASA | Image | 1 MB | JPG | NGR_Still_1 | https://stsci.box.com/s/cwp47ll85gode0u4fakyxeriklk5xw32 | https://roman.gsfc.nasa.gov/aboutNGR.html | ||||||||||||||||||

NASA's Associate Administrator of the Science Mission Directorate Dr. Edward J. Weiler presents the Women in Aerospace's Lifetime Achievement Award to retired NASA chief astronomer Nancy Grace Roman at the organization's annual awards ceremony and banquet held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Arlington, VA on Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2010. Four current NASA leaders and one retiree were recognized for their work by Women in Aerospace. The event celebrates women's professional excellence in aerospace and honors women who have made outstanding contributions to the aerospace community.

The history of women's contributions to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is long and varied. But it has also often been overlooked or underrepresented. This series highlights only a very few of the women who have made important discoveries and have had a crucial impact on STEM fields. This, however, is not just a look into the past. Today, women are in every STEM discipline, in every type of job, and represent the widest range of background and experiences.

This simulated image illustrates the wide range of science enabled by Roman's extremely wide field of view and exquisite resolution. The purple squares, which all contain background imagery simulated using data from Hubble’s Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Survey (CANDELS) program, outline the area Roman can capture in a single observation. An orange square shows the field of view of Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 for comparison. While the CANDELS program took Hubble nearly 21 days to survey in near-infrared light, Roman’s large field of view and higher efficiency would allow it to survey the same area in less than half an hour. Top left: This view illustrates a region of the large nearby spiral galaxy M83. Top right: A hypothetical distant dwarf galaxy appears in this magnified view, demonstrating Roman’s ability to detect small, faint galaxies at large distances. Bottom left: This magnified view illustrates how Roman will be able to resolve bright stars even in the dense cores of globular star clusters. Bottom right: A zoom of the CANDELS-based background shows the density of high-redshift galaxies Roman will detect. | Benjamin Williams, David Weinberg, Anil Seth, Eric Bell, Dave Sand, Dominic Benford, and the WINGS Science Investigation Team | Image | PNG | Greatfield_Simulated_Roman_Portrait_NoText |

It highlights Hubble's view of the galaxy NGC 1275 superimposed on a ground-based image. Roman’s Wide Field Instrument field of view is highlighted. Roman’s images will have the resolution of Hubble while covering an area about 100 times larger in a single pointing. This version has labels.

This illustration compares the relative sizes of the areas of sky covered by two surveys: Roman’s High Latitude Wide Area Survey, outlined in blue, and the largest mosaic led by Hubble, the Cosmological Evolution Survey (COSMOS), shown in red. In current plans, the Roman survey will be more than 1,000 times broader than Hubble’s. Roman will also explore more distant realms of space than most other telescopes have probed in previous efforts to study why the expansion of the universe is speeding up. | NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center | Image | 3.8 MB | JPEG | roman_hls_mkiii_2 |

The Roman Space Telescope is designed for large surveys of the sky.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a clue-hunter. As a survey mission, Roman will observe areas of the sky repeatedly, much like going back to the room multiple times to look for new details, or details that may have changed. It will cast a wide net with Hubble Space Telescope-quality data, but with 200 times Hubble’s infrared field of view! The infrared Roman mission will greatly expand our view of the universe, and it will provide many more clues to help solve some the greatest mysteries of astrophysics. | Illustration: J.

As a survey mission, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will collect Hubble-quality data but with 200 times Hubble’s infrared field of view. It will view planets by the thousands, galaxies by the millions, and stars by the billions. It will transmit almost 1,400 gigabytes of information to the ground each day—more than the storage space of an average home computer. For comparison, the Hubble Space Telescope sends less than 3 gigabytes a day, and the James Webb Space Telescope sends less than 60 gigabytes. After just five years of observing, Roman will have delivered 20,000 terabytes! All of this data will provide a treasure trove of information to scientists for many years to come. | Illustration: J.
