NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

★Handout photo dated July 27, 2013 of the optics module of the James Webb Space Telescope's primary imager, the Near Infrared Camera, arrived at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. In this photo, Lockheed Martin engineers attach a lift sling to the NIRCam instrument. Last summer, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) set an October 31, 2021, launch date for the $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, but it's having to delay the science observatory's trip into space once again. Thankfully, the launch might take place just a few weeks later, in November or early December. A rescheduled date is unlikely to be confirmed until later this summer or perhaps in the fall. The instrument, successor to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, which is the largest science observatory ever placed into space, will launch on a European Ariane 5 rocket from a spaceport in French Guiana.
