NASA JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE
“COMMUNICATIONS ISSUE” DELAYS LAUNCH — AGAIN

The James Webb Space Telescope, the multi-billion-dollar instrument on which the hopes and dreams of astronomers worldwide rest, has had to delay its launch again!
From 2018 until now, this is the 7th time James Webb has been delayed!
What the hell is going on with NASA?
Let’s find the answer in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!

The Dec. 22 launch will not happen!
Engineers discovered an intermittent data dropout associated with a piece of ground support equipment after connecting the James Webb Space Telescope with its Ariane 5 launcher over the weekend in French Guiana.
As a result, the observatory’s long-awaited blastoff will be delayed at least two days to Dec. 24 to troubleshoot the problem.
The mission was previously set for takeoff on Dec. 22 from the European-run Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana, on the northeastern coast of South America.
Everything had been going so well. The telescope was fueled up, boxed up. And the final step in preparation for Webb’s blastoff also occurred Saturday (Dec. 11) when the observatory was raised atop its Ariane 5 launch vehicle.
But a technical issue held up the next step in the launch campaign.
In a brief statement, NASA wrote on its website late Tuesday that the Webb team is “working on a communications issue between the observatory and the launch vehicle system.”
Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator for NASA’s science mission directorate, said Tuesday that engineers found an “interface problem” in a system that communicates with Webb while it’s on top of the Ariane 5 rocket.
“The way to think about it is it’s a ground support equipment thing… Basically, the data cables are dropping some frames.”
Technicians inside the Ariane 5 rocket’s final assembly building in Kourou have tried to diagnose the problem, but so far, haven’t been able to resolve it.
“Tomorrow, we’re going up there with the ground support equipment, and just really making sure we can flush out where the issue is,” Zurbuchen said. “We’ve tried a bunch of things, and we just haven’t been successful. This is a 100-meter cable that goes all the way from the top of the rocket to somebody’s computer. Somewhere in there (is the problem), is our guess.

To be resolved, thank you.

The chicken add personality, I love how random they are, it's so sad that it's been delayed though but I just really hope everything goes well I cannot wait to see what the JWST will capture (if that's even the right word to use)

[innertubez]

I’m rooting so hard for the Webb but it’s so freaking complicated

[galadato]

I mean it's one of the most important missions ever, I would prefer them to delay the launch and not end up on flames or unusable in space

[leoleydekkers]

What a contrast - a U$D 10 Billion telescope and a chicken farm...!

This is a case of
"If in doubt - DONT" Its a high stakes project, I feel they are being particularly careful with the JWST purely because SO MUCH has to go right - THE FIRST TIME, hence one of the reasons why it has taken so long to get to this point, with the amount of testing that has been done and as much as it goes SO far out past the moon into the L2 orbit, so much has to happen for it to work right and as you say, once its out there, there is no going out there for updates or repairing is something goes wrong - I have no issue with NASA delaying launch and being a little paranoid with this project - I have faith its going to work - and my fingers crossed.

I am dreadfully fearful, for all those people who spent so much time an effort putting this incredible telescope together, that something will not work as it should. It's a one shot deal, and if it fails, they, along with the space exploration community will be devastated. Alll those great scientists and engineers deserve a perfectly operating telescope. Also getting the money for other projects could be extremely hard.

L2 does not balance the gravitation between earth and sun but balances gravitation of sun plus earth against centrifugal pull outwards

[xrion]

When you make something so complex that everything that could go wrong will go wrong...

[ronpalmeru]

Wow, the best video yet. I want more of the warrior Roosters being lead by you.

[feverbull]

I’m rooting for the JWST. Delays and expenses will be trivial compared to the years and amounts of scientific discoveries that it may reveal.

[edelahaye]

In fact, I can't imagine the pressure the whole team is under.

Kikiriki !

[slowercuber]

Well, the telescope is something to crow about!

[tyeman]

Love the rooster crows! Adds a bit of personality. 😂😁✌️

"It's always the connector" A wise electrical engineer once said.

[Johnnyp]

I'm sorry, the chickens are really funny. It goes along with the chicken$#!t everybody has had to put up with these delayed launch dates! 🐔💩 LOL

[martinslaba]

Chickens are great.
Add chicken track to every video 😀

[zjavvi]

Let's all prayed 🙏 for James Webb to be successful launching

[jefflucas_life]

Kevin is mountain time 5am, hear the rooster 🐔 - hey i used to milk cows - still my favorite channel! Enjoying morning coffee at Bob Evans.

[peterglen]

Its great that are testing it so much, as late is better than having problems later, or losing it.

I love the farmland sounds!! My mom lives on a farm and I really enjoy visiting her to get away from the big city! Great video as usual! Take care and don't worry about the background noise as it actually makes the video better! It's real-life as your life is unfolding to better things!
