BAE Systems designed and developed the Opto-Mechanical Assembly on the Wide Field Instrument (WFI), the primary scientific instrument on the Roman mission. The Opto-Mechanical Assembly provides the stable structure and thermal environment that enables the WFI to meet performance requirements. It includes the optical bench, thermal control system, precision mechanisms, optics and electronics. BAE Systems also provided integration services and testing for the assembly. \"Today's launch of the Roman Space Telescope marks a significant achievement for furthering astrophysics discoveries,\" said Bonnie Patterson, vice president and general manager of Civil Space for BAE Systems. \"Roman will provide unparalleled views of the cosmos, helping to further advance our knowledge of the universe, the physics of our galaxy and the demographics of exoplanets.\" The Roman Space Telescope's Wide Field Instrument will provide a field of view at least 100 times greater than the...",
