The journey of the James Webb Telescope, the new generation space observation vehicle of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), continues successfully. As the James Webb Telescope, which set out to reveal the history of the universe, continues its journey, we continue to share important developments about the telescope with you.
Recently, we announced that the sun shields, which are extremely critical in controlling the engine temperature of the telescope, have been successfully deployed. Today, there was another new and very important development. The James Webb Space Telescope, which started its mission on December 25; He left his rocket that took him into space.
ESA shared the moments when the telescope left the rocket
As the telescope leaves the rocket, our world, which is included in the image from the right corner of the frame, stands out as well as the darkness of space. The telescope, which will travel for about 1 more month for its location, rotates around itself and moves away from the Ariane 5 rocket. The Space Telescope’s departure video from the rocket is very special because in this video we see the James Webb Space Telescope for the last time. The telescope left its rocket to orbit about 1.5 million kilometers from our planet, and it will not be possible to view it again.
With the last video shared by the agency, we witnessed the journey of the telescope towards the location where it will start recording the images. After this video, we will no longer talk about the images of the James Webb Space Telescope, but what the telescope will record.
