The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team has released images of vibration tests in which the observatory is placed under conditions that simulate the severe stresses of a rocket launch.

To realistically model the fuel mass, the tanks were filled with 1,117 liters of deionized water, and the loads exceeded those calculated by 25%.

In parallel, engineers are completing work on the observatory's external components, including the solar panels and sunshade. Two parts of the telescope are scheduled to be assembled in November, with final assembly scheduled for the end of the year.

The team also shared a video highlighting the winter and spring of 2025, featuring key moments from the telescope’s assembly over the past few months.
