"Projects of this magnitude demand excellence in virtually every aspect," J. Scott Smith, the assembly's telescope manager at NASA Goddard, told Space.com via email."This drive for perfection is intensified when building and delivering a space telescope that pushes engineering boundaries to answer seemingly impossible scientific questions.
"The wide field of view allows the Observatory to collect in a single image what would take Hubble several hundred, and after accounting for how fast the Roman Observatory can point to a new target, it further improves the efficiency," explained Smith."One of Roman's main survey campaigns, the High Latitude Wide Area Survey, will cover 2,000 square degrees in just over seven months. It would take Hubble or Webb hundreds of years to image such a large sky area.
This careful coordination and extensive testing is key to ensuring the telescope's performance, especially when it comes to stability."The Roman telescope represents the pinnacle of telescope stability, a claim substantiated by extensive ground-based testing," Smith added.
