A Lift of the James Webb Space Telescope
Preparations continue for the James Webb Space Telescope's upcoming trip to NASA Johnson for testing. Here the telescope is lifted to a stand in the giant cleanroom at NASA Goddard, so it can be rotated. The mirror's two "wings" are folded back, and its secondary mirror is stowed. This is the position the mirrors will be in for launch - as well as for the trip to Johnson Space Center.
