Launked telescope retired by 1.5 million kilometers from ground

The most expensive telescope James Webb (James Webb) successfully completed the final course adjustment a month after launching into space. It is reported by NASA.

it specifies that for this, the telescope has included its engines by 297 seconds. As a result, he reached the second point of Lagrange in the Sun-Earth system, which is located 1.5 million kilometers from the ground. “Now we are one step closer to the disclosure of the Secretary of the Universe,” said the administrator of the American Space Department Bill Nelson.

Over the next three months, the Space Agency specialists will customize the observatory and level the mirror.

James Webba telescope was launched on December 25, 2021. The beginning of the work of the observatory is scheduled for May 2022. In the future, he must replace the Hubble orbital telescope (Hubble), launched US in April 1990. However, in contrast to its predecessor, James Webb will be maintained (Khabble Shattles flew four times) and should work for at least ten years.
