Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Flight Sunshield at Northrop Grumman (37594108385).jpg |
Stretched out like a silver kite, the five-layer sunshield for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope sits in a cleanroom at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems in Redondo Beach, California. The sunshield will be folded up around two sides of the Webb telescope observatory and placed in an Ariane 5 rocket for launch. During deployment in space, the two giant “arms” of the sunshield will unfold like a flower opening. Once horizontal, the arms will lock in place and the sides of the sunshield will expand into their fully deployed, kite-like shape. The flight membranes will be folded, stowed and tensioned at Northrop two additional times for testing. Image credit: Northrop Grumman Subscribe to our YouTube channel Follow us on Instagram |
