About the Documentation

A variety of reference material is available for astronomers interested in learning more about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, as well as to explain Roman's capabilities to a wide variety of audiences. The technical reports and papers listed below document technical work relevant to the Roman mission which has been carried out, led, or co-led by staff at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). Also included below is a collection of reference documents and brochures summarizing Roman’s scientific capabilities, as well as resources for astronomers interested in building a Roman-focused presentation appropriate for a wide variety of audiences, including a slide deck and visual library.

Roman related presentations at events organized or co-sponsored by STScI can be searched and viewed on the events page.

Additional resources can be found at the sites of our Roman mission partners. A document library is maintained by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and a list of mission documents created by project partners is maintained by IPAC.
