Direct Imaging and Spectroscopy of Exoplanets with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set for launch in the mid-2020s, will have a technology demonstration called the Coronagraph Instrument. This will showcase a number of technologies together in space for the first time to achieve a 100-1000 fold improvement on current and near-term proposed coronagraphs. The Roman Coronagraph Instrument will be a key stepping stone to a future coronagraph capable of imaging exo-Earths. We seek qualified applicants to help plan and execute the Roman Coronagraph technology demonstration and possible follow-on science investigations.
