James Webb Space Telescope Launch and Deployment

Northrop Grumman is proud to lead the industry team building NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. This revolutionary observatory is the largest telescope built for space and the most powerful infrared telescope ever made. It is the scientific successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. The Webb telescope will travel 1 million miles from earth and look back over 13.5 billion years, providing images of the first galaxies formed and observing unexplored planets around distant stars. The breakthrough technology developed for the Webb Telescope will expand our understanding of the universe, rewrite textbooks and inspire a future generation of engineers and scientists.
This animation captures Webb’s journey into orbit, 1 million miles away from earth, depicting the sequence of events surrounding the launch and deployment of this game changing observatory. The travel time, distance and transformation of the telescope as it deploys are included in this sequence.

[@arbitrage2141]

gypsydanger I get the slight sense maybe they are being a bit too ambitious with this... but then, its fucking nasa. If I only knew half of the actual process for half of their missions, I think Id say everything they've done is too ambitious.

[@Rayden440]

I would argue that NASA is not being ambitious enough. During the Apollo missions, only two Saturn V rockets were tested in unmanned flights, the third launch of the Saturn V rocket was manned (Apollo 7). There was an engine failure on the second unmanned launch, but they decided to go ahead with Apollo 7 without an additional unmanned launch to test their improvements/changes (incredibly ballsy). The Space Race era of NASA is filled with ambition and determination to catch up and overtake the Soviets because the USSR was way ahead of the USA for most of the Space Race. After going to the moon a few times, public support and government funding for NASA dwindled. They had a choice between going to Mars and building the Space Shuttle. As you probably know, they chose the shuttle and humans never left low earth orbit ever again :(

This project is madness! Can't wait for the launch!

[@Danshir_You_Tube]

As James Webb telescope has already been succesfully launched, we got it. Good luck!

[@marinagoldberg9563]

This is truly amazing. The team of engineers and scientists have created something that is uber human. You are all true Rockstars, thank you! The world will learn and benefit so much from what you have developed over the last decade. Congratulations to all of you. Can't wait to see the pictures of the early stage universe.

I remember joining a “save the James Webb Space Teleacope” group back in 2010. Hard to believe 10 years have passed. Let’s hope it goes ahead in Oct 2021.

[@parnikkapore]

Aaand it successfully launched on Christmas 2021!

[@tompalmer5986]

The delicacy of these maneuvers is breathtaking. The James Webb promises so much, and so many things could go wrong. The whole world will be holding its breath when they launch it. I'm glad this is a multinational project. Maybe it could provide the blueprint for future projects.

[@ryanhamstra49]

Who’s here almost 5 years later when it just launched?

[@harshamesta]

This video is one of best video on KZbin about james webb telescope. This video is well detailed information. I watched this video 4 year ago. I'm waiting this moment from that date. The time is over.

[@nitinpandey5753]

Hoping for all good and success for this mission.🙏

[@maryellen1290]

I got to see this telescope under construction! I visited nasa, it was awesome! I learned so much.

[@highpointsights]

where was the facility you visited? I think I'm jealous!!

[@phantommedia9964]

@@highpointsights It's in Northrop Grumman facility in Redondo Beach, the tall building on the corner of Space Park Dr. and Redondo Beach Ave

[@quickquiz4217]

I have been waiting for years, wish i was on the team! Such amazing discoveries await.

[@aggelosn.6846]

There are very few moments in the history of science where you know that you will explore something new, beforehand, guaranteed. After a few months humanity will have so much additional knowledge thanks to that magnificent tool

🇺🇲 🇨🇦 🇨🇰 TODAY !!! 12/25/2021. JAMES WEBB JUST LIFTED OFF TOWARDS ITS JOURNEY. It's astonishing how the real event happend, in its every single details, exactly how this vídeo mentioned, 4 years earlier... (except for the cloudy skyies on the real event). I have always said : Northrop Grummam crew are alliens !!!! Amazing explanatory vídeo, by the way ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SebastianSanchez65]

One of the greatest feats of mankind, please NASA don’t screw it up using imperial units 😅

[@Jameson1776]

Sebastian Sanchez the ESA is launching it on an Ariane 5 so its not on NASA just mostly built and funded by NASA

[@jamesmcinnis5184]

Sebastian Sanchez RIP

[@conmanthegreatest8392]

You have to for the rest

[@maloflory]

Jameson 1776 I think he was referring to the Mars Climate Orbiter, which crashed on Mars because it was coded to use metric units but received imperial ones (flew on a way lower orbit than it was supposed to, atmosphere made the rest)

[@-_Nuke_-]

xD

[@kwbucek56]

Wow.. a lot of steps in this deployment and an awful lot can go wrong during this whole process.. good luck guys... your gonna need it !!

[@orasatk]

Finally it was successfully launched into space. Congratulations Human species...

[@Netty7787]

Can’t wait for the Webb to launch the Galaxies it will discover!!!

[@lepermunna]

kudos to the animators for including the fairing wobble post-separation!

[@dave_in_florida]

Yes. Background music is a little loud.

[@deelove6899]

Godspeed! May all humanity benefit from this science project :)

[@MyEngineeringProjects]

That's a complex sequence of events. I hope everything works. Looking forward to seeing the first photos.

[@darshshinde]

Best of luck for this mission to be success. So many moving gears here! It's mind boggling to realize how everything has to work precisely for it to work well. And it's orbit being way beyond moon means servicing mission like Hubble won't be even possible

[@syntaxed2]

Havent been this excited since 2004 (rover mars landings). This telescope is going to be absolutely EPIC.

[@clydeellzey508]

If the thing ever ever ever gets deployed!!!! Damnit i been anxiously waiting freaking 10 damn years!!!!!!!!!

[@ezekielmajor5511]

I can't wait. Get this thing up there!

[@henryswanson5939]

Amazing. I cannot wait. I looked at flights to French Guiana because I'd love to see the launch. But it is super expensive so I hope they stream it so I can watch from home.
