NASA Delays James Webb Space Telescope To October 2021
NASA has announced that the often delayed James Webb space telescope (JWST) is to be delayed once more. Instead of a launch on 30 March 2021, the mission has now slipped to 31 October 2021. From a report: The seven-month delay is the result of impacts from the coronavirus pandemic, as well as technical challenges. The spacecraft is currently being tested at Northrop Grumman, NASA's main industrial partner on the mission, in Redondo Beach, California. A recently completed risk assessment exercise recommended the delay. Once ready, JWST will be transported to Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, where it will be launched by the European Space Agency on an Ariane 5 ECA rocket. Touted as the successor to the Hubble space telescope, JWST has had a troubled development characterised by major cost overruns and delays. Development work started in the late 1990s, with a launch date set for 2007.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
