Roman is on its way! Just separated from the Falcon Heavy 2nd stage, and is on its way to the Earth-Sun Lagrange Point 2.
It will take ~30 days to get into its halo orbit around L2, with commissioning work along the way. IIRC we can expect the first pictures/science around the turn of the year.
Woot!
