ABB-developed exoplanet camera electronics fly on NASA’s Roman Space Telescope launch

• ABB developed ultra-sensitive camera readout electronics for NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launched Aug. 30, 2026.
• System supports the Roman Coronagraph Instrument, targeting direct exoplanet imaging at 100 to 1,000 times current space coronagraph performance.
• Engineers compressed the electronics into a shoebox-sized unit using space-qualified parts to operate under radiation and cryogenic conditions.
• Technology is intended to de-risk capabilities for NASA’s Habitable World Observatory concept, strengthening ABB’s position in space imaging hardware.
• NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory awarded the camera readout contract in 2020 under a partnership with Nüvü Camēras.
