Videos from the info session are posted as a playlist on the IPAC YouTube channel.

The Roman Coronagraph Instrument passed its thermal vacuum (TVAC) tests successfully at JPL in April 2024, completing its instrument-level Integration & Testing (I&T).

In this 2-day info session, on August 26--27, 2024 at Caltech/IPAC and online, we will present the detailed CGI as-built capabilities, focusing on the technical performance demonstrated in TVAC. In particular, we will highlight results from:

• Optical integration static tests, 

• Low- and high-order wavefront sensing and control tests, 

• Key subsystems such as pointing & focus control mechanisms, deformable mirrors, coronagraphic masks, precision alignment mechanisms, and flight cameras,

• Coronagraph modeling and error budget validation, 

• Instrument flight software tests

Looking to the future, we will also:

• Present CGI plans for supporting Roman I&T, preparing for in-orbit commissioning and Tech demo operations

• Discuss how far the Roman coronagraph will get us on the path to HWO, and how to maximize its value to prepare for HWO using the CPP 

This will be a hybrid (mostly remote) meeting. Please register to participate remotely.  If you would rather participate in person, please contact Marissa Rubio at marissa.r.rubio@jpl.nasa.gov. Please note that the meeting room capacity will be limited to ~50 people and we may not be able to accommodate all requests for in-person attendance.
