Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF) Imagery

This photograph shows a newly repainted crane mounted inside NASA’s Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility on Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, preparations for the arrival of the agency’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Workers repainted the facility’s 15-ton bridge crane to prevent any paint chips from becoming foreign object debris. The Roman space telescope will provide deep, panoramic views of the cosmos, generating never-before-seen pictures that will revolutionize our understanding of the universe. Roman will undergo several prelaunch operations, including thermal protection closeout, cleaning, solar array work, and loading hydrazine propellant.
