"Decades of University of Hawaiʻi technological innovation and scientific leadership are set to launch on Aug. 30 with NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, a mission that is expected to transform our understanding of the Milky Way and the expansion of the universe.
...
UH’s influence on the mission stretches from the telescope’s technology to the science it will produce. Technology developed by IfA researchers sits at the heart of Roman’s massive camera. UH astronomers helped shape how the telescope will study the Milky Way, are building tools to turn its images into usable science, and will lead projects exploring exploding stars, mysterious dimming stars, and the expansion of the universe.
This work builds on the international reputation of the IfA, one of the world’s premier astronomy programs. UH researchers have helped advance astronomy from Hawaiʻi for decades, including developing technology used on Maunakea, where astronomical research has consistently ranked among the world’s most scientifically influential."
