NASA has managed to mechanically join the two parts of the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be launched in 2021, with considerable delay.
Man from time immemorial has been curious to unravel the mysteries of the universe. The night shows us a series of luminous points in the sky about which we know very little. But scientists around the world try to unravel all the mysteries of the universe, something very complicated. NASA, to help in this daunting task, has created the James Webb Space Telescope.
Said telescope is a great project that is unfortunately long overdue. However, NASA engineers have put the batteries in and have already finished assembling it. Logically, any assembly process and the like is very complicated, because it must be done with great precision. Any failure in the assembly could spell a monumental disaster, causing it to malfunction or not work.
NASA has already assembled the James Webb Space Telescope
Its purpose is the James Webb Space Telescope, to help explore the cosmos, something not easy. For this it will use infrared light, which should allow it to discover new planets and moons, not only in the Milky Way, but also in more distant galaxies.
This telescope is on a mission to replace Hubble, who has made great discoveries. Hubble will be replaced by the more modern and more powerful James Webb.
It took a long time to finish assembling the James Webb because it is a very complex telescope. NASA has finally managed to safely align the two halves for the first time. Thus they have managed to complete the mechanical connection of the two parts, leaving it almost ready to be deployed.
Basically it only remains to 'splice' the electrical systems of the two parts of the telescope. Later tests will be carried out to verify that the electrical connections work correctly, before taking the next step. The James Webb Space Telescope will be launched in 2021 and will go to work to find new celestial bodies.
