The James Webb Space Telescope was started successfully in December 2021 and is a new optical telescope consisting of 18 hexagonal mirror segments made of gold-plated beryllium that join together to form a 6.5 meter (21 ft 4 in).[12] Diameter mirror. Regarding a chance for astronomers to explore space like never before. The James Webb Space Telescope, designed and built to succeed the Hubble Space Telescope as NASA’s flagship mission in astrophysics, will provide data to researchers for the next 10 years if all goes well and is roughly half the mass of the Hubble Space Telescope.
If you’re interested in learning more about the James Webb Space Telescope, an interactive memorial book and poster has been created and made available through Kickstarter with patches and medallions to commemorate the telescope launch. Early bird promise are now available for the recently launched project starting at around USD 12 or GBP 9 (depending on current exchange rates).
James Webb Space Telescope Book
“The James Webb Space Telescope operates in a halo orbit around Sun-Earth L2 (Lagrange point), approximately 1,500,000 km (930,000 miles) behind Earth orbit the Sun. For comparison, Hubble orbits 550 km (340 miles) above the Earth’s surface, and the moon is approximately 400,000 km (250,000 miles) from Earth. This distance probably makes it impossible for a manned mission to repair or upgrade the observatory in the future, as was the case with Hubble. “
If the James Webb Space Telescope’s crowdfunding campaign successfully achieves its required pledge target and fulfillment goes smoothly, it is expected to ship worldwide around May 2022. To learn more about the James Webb Space Telescope’s poster and book project, watch the promotional video below.
“The James Webb Space Telescope will fundamentally change our understanding of the universe in which we live. Filled with beautiful full color pictures and full of facts, our guide is a must have for anyone interested in space, science and technology. It makes a great gift for that budding young scientist you know! We also offer a PDF eBook version for download. “
“Celebrate the most important milestone that JWST represents in the history of space exploration with our JWST Launch Medallion. The front shows the Ariane V taking off with the place and date of the launch and the names of the most important mission partners. The back presents the JWST mirror on a precision sandblasted face that contrasts with the machined perfection of the smooth, golden hexagonal surfaces. “
