Roman is nearly ready for its journey to L2, where it will map billions of galaxies, study exoplanets, and probe dark energy! 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 on a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy from LC-39A! go.nasa.gov/4gqAd1V
