IDXChannel – Telescope outer space James Webb is scheduled to launch on December 24, 2021 at 09:20 local time in French Guiana.
Teleskop flagship it has now been packaged inside the nose cone of its Ariane 5 rocket for space travel.
The final launch readiness review will be held Tuesday (21/12) to ensure the Webb space telescope is ready for launch.
If everything goes according to plan, the Ariane 5 rocket will be launched to the launch pad at the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana.
NASA called Webb the successor to the first Hubble Space Telescope. The science that Hubble has gained includes showing the universe is accelerating in its expansion and finding new moons around Pluto.
That way, the project, which is estimated to cost $9.8 billion, is poised to take over the baton after years of delays in its launch.
Scientists hope the telescope will open up more knowledge about the universe.
The telescope will travel to a remote spot about 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth known as the Lagrange point, a gravitationally stable spot between two celestial bodies.
