James Webb Space Telescope Fully Deployed

A tiny meteoroid struck the newly deployed James Webb Space Telescope in May, knocking one of its gold-plated mirrors out of alignment but not changing the orbiting observatory's schedule to become fully operational shortly, says NASA.

NASA has confirmed that James Webb Space Telescope has completed its two-week-long deployment process and will now begin calibrating before it can start sending back images.

The James Webb Space Telescope completed its two-week-long deployment phase on Saturday, unfolding the final mirror panel as it readies to study every phase of cosmic history, NASA said.

James Webb Space Telescope, a day after fully tensioning the sunshield, has now completed another complex procedure. The space observatory's secondary mirror was deployed using what a Webb engineer described as the “world's most sophisticated tripod.”

James Webb Space Telescope has completed the complex process of deploying its kite-shaped sunshield. The sunshield, about the size of a tennis court, has five layers. The first three were deployed initially and the last two were done late last night.

The James Webb Space Telescope fully deployed its five-layer sunshield Tuesday, a critical milestone for the success of its mission to study every phase of cosmic history, US space agency NASA said.
