Abstract: The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, MD, is the Roman Science Operations Center (SOC), and is responsible for the planning and scheduling of all observations, as well as for WFI data processing and the generation of data products for WFI imaging. The SOC will also host the Roman Archive, and will make available a Roman Science Platform, which is being designed to enable community access to and efficient analysis of Roman data products in the cloud. All data products, including image-level and catalog-level products, will be made available to the community with no exclusive access period.

Roman personnel will contribute to the STScI Town Hall. The Town Hall will report on the status of existing and upcoming missions at STScI and describe new opportunities designed to advance astrophysics through the 2020s. We will specifically address Roman updates with a focus on Roman as a big data and survey mission and our plans to help enable the community to interact with Roman’s large volume of data. There will be ample time for questions from the community.
