A big morning for Roman’s Science Support Center at @caltechipac.bsky.social!
Members of the SSC team is gathered at Kennedy Space Center to watch Roman head to space after years of preparing to help scientists around the world make the most of Roman’s incredible data.

Roman Senior Project Scientist Julie McEnery has spent years helping shape the science vision for this mission.
This morning, she was at Kennedy Space Center to watch that vision take flight. 🚀
Going forward, it’s a whole new slide deck!

From watching STS-120 launch after winning a science competition, to returning almost 20 years later as an #astrophysicist to watch #NASARoman begin its journey to L2.
Still looking up. Still wondering.
Safe travels, Roman. 🚀✨

Me with Roman colleague Ryan Hickox a few minutes after launch. I think it's fair to say we're feeling pretty good 😁 #GoRoman #RomanLaunch 🧪🔭🚀

It's not a great feeling to see 15 years of work (and many more years of work by Goddard engineers) sitting on top of a great big bomb. But it feels utterly amazing to see it break free from the bonds of Earth and head off to its permanent home. #RomanLaunch 🚀🔭🧪 (picture credit: Kate Kerins)

It’s on its way! Now the commissioning work starts for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope even while it’s still enroute to L2. #romanlaunch

Looks absolutely beautiful on Cape Canaveral this morning for #romanlaunch - would have been an early start for those in person but I bet watching the dawn was nice.

I’m watching NASAlive on YouTube for the Roman launch. This quiz is clearly missing “galaxies” as the most exciting thing to study with Roman! #romanlaunch

A special moment for @stsci.edu Roman Mission Office!
After years of helping prepare the science operations that will turn Roman’s observations into discoveries, members of the team are gathered at Kennedy Space Center to watch Roman begin its journey to space.

Roman is safe and snug inside the Falcon Heavy at launchpad LC39A, Kennedy. But the weather forecast is looking mixed for tomorrow's launch. Officially a 50% chance of launch. Fingers and toes all crossed.

Like an excited little boy doing my tourist thing around #Kennedy Space Center today. Buzzed to be invited to the #RomanLaunch on Sunday. Yesterday was the science team's last pre-launch meet. Everyone super-excited after the launch brief from Roman Launch Director, Missie Vess. Go Roman!

Scientists came together in Cocoa Beach, FL, for the Roman Launch Science Meeting to share their plans for supporting a new era of discovery with Roman.
All science is GO for launch!
