Preparations here at Kennedy continue, and it is now on its specialized work platform, known as the Pantheon.
Targeting launch no earlier than Aug. 30
“It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.” A million in this case, all the way to L2.
Roman still has a long journey ahead, but let's take a short trip down memory lane, narrated by John Rhys-Davies, to see how we got to where we are now: prepping for launch @NASAKennedy.

Congrats on an out-of-this-world discovery, TESS!
NASA’s TESS mission used the microlensing detection method to find a planet out in the Milky Way’s disk. Roman will use the same method to find new worlds in the center of the Milky Way!
Comparing notes from the two missions could shed light on how planets form in different galactic environments, including ones that may be more conducive to life. 🌱
