Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The James Webb Space Telescope is NASA’s largest and most complex space science telescope ever built. Too big for any rocket available in its fully expanded form, the entire observatory was designed to fold in on itself to achieve a much smaller configuration. Once in space, the observatory will unfold and stretch itself out in a carefully practiced series of steps before beginning to make groundbreaking observations of the cosmos.
The observatory is shown here, at Northrop Grumman in Redondo Beach, CA, in its folded, or stowed, position. Techs and engineers have continued to test the spacecraft since it was first stowed in May. Read more about about this milestone: www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2020/first-look-nasa-s-james...
