The U.S. congressional Wolf Amendment prohibits NASA from using government funds to support bilateral activities involving the government of the People’s Republic of China and China-affiliated organizations. Learn how this affects STScI’s support of Hubble, Webb, Roman, and MAST.
In the first half of 2026, STScI staff supported Hubble, Webb, Roman, HWO, and MAST to enable research. We continued to communicate these missions’ scientific discoveries and upcoming impact. Find opportunities to collaborate, request support, and learn how we cover scientific discoveries.
Join STScI at the 248th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Pasadena, California, June 14 to 18, 2026. Throughout the week, members of STScI will be involved in a wide variety of science and technical presentations, press conferences, and more.
STScI recently completed the proposal review and telescope allocation process for JWST Cycle 5. The worldwide astronomical community engaged in an unprecedented brainstorm, setting a new record for proposals received in response to any Call for Proposals by a major observatory. Here, we summarize the review process and the results and offer pointers for Cycle 6 applicants.
The Space Telescope Science Institute's 2025 annual report is live! This publication explores how our 850-plus staff members came together to serve both astronomers and the public throughout the year.
To maximize the scientific utility of data delivered by the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, the mission's partners will deliver a range of products to the astronomical community. Read about the differences between STScI data products created and available upon receipt of the data, and those created for periodic formal data releases. This article also details data products from mission partners, and links to resources.
Astronomers are encouraged to jump onto the Roman Research Nexus now to explore tutorial-style workflows, understand Roman’s data structures, analyze simulated and test data, and build and test tailored workflows in anticipation of the beginning of science operations in 2027.
In the second half of 2025, STScI staff supported Hubble, Webb, Roman, the Habitable Worlds Observatory, and MAST to enable research.
