btw what's fascinating to me is that while JWST relies on ground-control to figure out where it is in space, the Roman telescope knows EXACTLY by using state-of-the-art great-great-grandchild of the system that was on the SR-71, using 18 guide-stars and gyroscopes, etc.

it's just so amazing, including a 500mbps downlink (JWST "only" has 28mbps) for 1.5TB per day
