Summary[edit]
DescriptionBoth Halves of NASA’s Webb Telescope Successfully Communicate.jpg |
English: For the first time, the two halves of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope — the spacecraft and the telescope—were connected together using temporary ground wiring that enabled them to “speak” to each other like they will in flight. “Even though we have tested each half with a simulator of the other half during their parallel construction, there is nothing exactly like connecting the real thing to the real thing,” said Mike Menzel, Webb’s Mission System Engineer. During this test, all of Webb’s iconic 18 gold-plated mirrors successfully received, and performed commands to move and adjust themselves.
The James Webb telescope is both an exceedingly complex and rewarding undertaking for NASA and its international partners. Scientists anticipate its findings to rewrite textbooks on astronomy by providing revolutionary observations of the cosmos, while engineers and involved technicians forecast that its challenging design will enable and influence future spacecraft architecture for years to come.
