Go, JWST, go! JWST 2021 JamesWebbSpaceTelescope
James Webb Space Telescope: The engineering behind a 'first light machine' that is not allowed to failAlso during the observatory's first leg of travel, President Joe Biden recognized the teams behind the telescope for their work on the project.
"Congratulations @NASA and all who made today's launch of the James Webb telescope possible," Biden wrote in aposted this evening."Webb is a shining example of the power of what we can accomplish when we dream big. We've always known that this project would be a risky endeavor, but with big risk comes big rewards."
With the MCC1a burn complete, the observatory has successfully executed the only two procedures that required specific timing. From now on, the deployment steps will be executed in a flexible manner rather than at particular times. That said, the next milestone in JWST's month-long journey will occur about a day after launch, according to a
, when the spacecraft will deploy the Gimbaled Antenna Assembly, which holds a key communications antenna, to point back toward Earth.
