From observing distant galaxies to exploring exoplanets and their atmospheres, BAE Systems enables cutting-edge technology to expand our knowledge of the universe. As a major partner in each of NASA’s Great Observatories, BAE Systems is continuing the legacy of pioneering astrophysics missions with the next generation of observatories, including the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) and the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO).
As we look to the future, we are leveraging our rich heritage of groundbreaking astrophysics technology development to provide the stability and resolution needed to investigate planets across the cosmos using deep imaging and highly multiplexed spectroscopy to search for habitable worlds like ours.
Current Astrophysics Flagship: The Nancy Roman Space Telescope
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, NASA’s next flagship observatory, will enable advances in astrophysics by providing a large-scale survey capability in infrared wavelengths. The observatory is designed to capture data that will allow astronomers to answer high-priority scientific questions related to the evolution and fate of the universe and the abundance of planets in the universe.
