The Roman Coronagraph is integrated with the Instrument Carrier for NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in a clean room at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., in October 2024.For a transit to be detected, the orbital plane must be nearly edge-on to the observer, a condition that applies to only a small minority of distant planets. Consequently, many planets will remain undetected through photometry.
"The Roman Coronagraph is designed to detect planets 100 million times fainter than their stars, or 100 to 1,000 times better than existing space-based coronagraphs," according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
