Behind each mission is a team that makes it possible. We completed our 100th radome for the E-2D. 7 of the original team members who started this program 20+ years ago are still building this highly complex and engineered system today and ready for years of future production.

We are proud to have contributed precision‑engineered structures, including the High Gain Antenna and the Wide Field Instrument (WFI) Optic Bench for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. These components are essential to Roman’s groundbreaking mission. #AADX #AppliedAD
Roman is nearly ready for its journey to L2, where it will map billions of galaxies, study exoplanets, and probe dark energy! Preparations here at Kennedy continue, and it is now on its specialized work platform, known as the Pantheon. Targeting launch no earlier than Aug. 30 on a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy from LC-39A! go.nasa.gov/4gqAd1V
