NASA's Most Scientifically Complex Space Observatory Requires Precision

Показать описание
The James Webb Space Telescope is one the most ambitious, and technically complex missions NASA has ever set its focus on. Building an infrared observatory of this magnitude, power and complexity has never been attempted before. In order to ensure seamless operation in space, the cutting-edge technology incorporated into Webb must be rigorously tested prior to launch.

The entire design of the Webb took years to develop, and was specifically engineered to see more of the cosmos than ever before. It required hundreds of scientists, engineers, optics experts and many others to pool their knowledge in a way that had never been done. Relying on the teamwork of three prominent space agencies: NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency, Webb has come to include over 1,200 people worldwide to bring the world’s newest and most powerful infrared observatory to life.

At this point i don't care how many times they'll reschedule the telescope's launching, as long as it blast off and deployed successfully. Imagine waiting for it for a decade or more just to see it fail. So i'm glad they're taking extreme measures for the success of this project rather than hastily seding it off to waste.

What about the

For sure exciting and revolutionary, however it's a shame about the budget and delays...

The voice over reminds me of a certain text-to-speech synthesizer

So extremely excited for this...I'm curiously waiting to know the launch date after it got delayed again! Hope it all goes right! By any chance will SPACE X have any hands on this mission regarding the launch as they have the most advanced space crafts built that are yet to be unveiled...? The DRAGON craft is a perfect fit!

Uh oh, they're putting out promo-vids again.... get ready for another round of delays. They've spent so much money on this thing that they're afraid to launch it. It'll never fly.
