The James Webb Space Telescope, which Nasa believes will reveal the mysteries of the early cosmos, is set to launch in less than 6 hours. The launch is set for 12.20pm GMT (7.20am EST) on Christmas Day, with a live broadcast accessible soon before lift-off on Nasa’s Television
The launch of the $10 billion observatory, which was originally postponed from December 24 due to unfavorable weather conditions at the launch location in French Guinea, might be hampered by a variety of last-minute concerns.
Officials said during a press conference this week that there was an occasional communication delay between the rocket and the telescope, and that over 300 things” might go wrong and sabotage the launch. The James Webb telescope, if launched into space, would aim to see back 13.7 billion years in time to stars and galaxies generated during the early phases of the universe’s formation.

Separation and ignition in the upper stage
Stage Separation: The Ariane 5 rocket carrying NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discarded its main stage and started its upper stage to keep the James Webb Space Telescope powered up and in orbit.
18:10:38 – December 25, 2021
During the ascent, James Webb used a space telescope on the track
The Ariane 5 rocket, which is carrying NASA’s James Webb Orbit Telescope into space, is still burning through its second stage. NASA spokeswoman Rob Navias says of launch control, Very quiet now in the room. Officials from NASA, Arianespace, and their partners are keeping a close eye on the telemetry, he says.
So far, everything has gone according to plan. Today’s countdown went off without a hitch, Navias remarked. On this Christmas Day, everything came together to send a fresh present to the world’s astronomers
18:16:20 – December 25, 2021
Shutdown in the second stage
The Ariane 5 top stage engine, which was carrying NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, has shut down as expected.
18:28:13 – December 25, 2021
Separation of spacecraft and solar array deployment
After today’s launch, NASA’s James Webb Orbit Telescope successfully detached from its Ariane 5 rocket and deployed its solar array, completing a faultless journey into space.
Webb’s Ariane 5 rocket upper stage included a camera that broadcast live images of the event, with the solar array deployment happening a little early. Arianespace launch control at the Guiana Space Center in French Guiana chanted, Go, Webb, go.

The launch of the James webb space telescope was a success
The James Webb Orbit Telescope has safely launched into space and is on its way to its L2 home, which is around 1 million miles from Earth, for a month-long journey. After the launch, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson declared, It’s a terrific day for planet Earth.
We’re going to see extraordinary stuff we’ve never seen before. With a series of interviews on NASA TV, praise is flooding in from the space organizations that collaborated to build the space telescope.

Media Conferencing: Briefing Lauch of JWST
The space program and its partners will host a news conference soon to commemorate the successful launch of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. the news conference will start at 9 a.m. EST (1400 GMT) and will feature the chiefs of the agencies that developed James Webb, as well as senior mission scientists. In the browser above, you may watch it live. Furthermore, take a look back at the great launch of today.

This truly Christmas!’ NASA on the JWST launch
As NASA and its partner celebrate the successful start of a $10 billion mission, NASA Chief Bill Nelson termed today’s successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope a wonderful day for Earth.
It’s a Christmas to remember, according to Thomas zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for science missions. What an incredible day, Zurbuchen exclaimed. With all the toys and everything, it’s actually Christmas, and we’re on a space expedition.

Where is the James Webb space telescope from Nasa?
It’s been a little over 7 hours after NASA’s James Webb Orbit Telescope shot into orbit, and the space telescope is now more than 67,800 miles (109,110 kilometers) away and growing as it approaches Lagrangian.
Note:- NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is about to embark on a historic mission to probe the origins of the cosmos. NASA is ecstatic about the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope during the holidays. The launching of NASA’s JWST on Christmas Day.
The Webb space telescope can be tracked online using NASA’s Where is Webb website, which uses real-time telemetry from the spacecraft to present a precise picture of where the space telescope is and what stage of deployment it is in.
Webb will take 29 days to reach L2, which is roughly 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth, and around six months to begin taking pictures of the cosmos. Webb’s next landmark will be a mid-course adjustment burn, a deep-space maneuver that will fine-tune the space Hubble space telescope path to L2.
06:23:20 – December 26, 2021
Presidential congratulations
President Joe Biden congratulated the James Webb Space Telescope on its successful launch on the evening of its flawless launch. In a tweet, Biden said, Congratulations @NASA and everybody who made today’s launch of the James Webb telescope possible. Webb is a brilliant example of what we can achieve when we set our sights high. We’ve always understood this project would be dangerous, but with great risk comes great profit.
07:37:48 – December 26, 2021
Nasa says the crucial burn has been completed
According to NASA, the James Webb Space Telescope successfully completed a critical burn to adjust its course. According to the agency, the fire started around 7:50 p.m. EST (0050 GMT) and lasted 65 minutes.
The move also marked the operation’s final stage that had to be completed at a certain time; mission personnel can now adjust the deployment timeframe as required.
22:03:25 – December 26, 2021
Successful Antenna Deployment
The NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is still travelling away from Earth one day after launch, preparing for observations in the months ahead.
According to a NASA statement, the spacecraft deployed and tested a key antenna starting around 10 a.m. EST (1500 GMT) on Sunday (Dec. 26). The antenna will be in charge of sending research data to Earth twice a day.
The temperature sensors and strain gauges on the spaceship also started working overnight. According to NASA, the telescope’s next step of deployment will be a second course-correction burn, which will take place around two days after launch.
21:45:56 – December 27, 2021
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope successfully deploys antenna
It’s day three of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, and the major goal for today is to perform the second of three mid-course correction burns to improve Webb’s path to its new home at Lagrange point 2, or L2, about 1 million miles (1.6 million km) from Earth.
On Saturday, December 25, after launching into orbit, Webb completed its first and largest course correction burn. On day 29, the third burn will take place in order for the spacecraft to enter its final orbit around the L2 point.
After launch, Webb’s trajectory is fine-tuned by this burn. The duration of the burn will be determined by the performance of the Ariane 5 launcher.
MCC-1a, MCC-1b, and MCC-2 are the three mid-course correction (MCC) manoeuvres. This is the second of two. Apart from solar array deployment, the first burn, MCC-1a, is the most crucial and the only other time-critical activity during Webb’s commissioning period.
The second, MCC-1b, is a shorter burn that occurs before the sunshield deployment begins. MCC-2, undertaken 29 days after launch, is aimed to place Webb in the optimum orbit around L2.
The second, MCC-1b, is a shorter burn performed before the sunshield deployment begins. The final manoeuvre, MCC-2, undertaken 29 days after launch, is aimed to place Webb in the ideal orbit around L2.
