Webb's critical mirror alignment phase completed successfully.

 


After the Webb telescope's critical mirror alignment steps were completed, the Webb team perfectly aligns and focused the telescope on the star 2MASS J17554042+6551277, which the James Webb Space Telescope team sincerely expects, that Webb's optical performance will achieve science goals.  will meet, or perform more than expected.

With Webb's Optical Telescope Element operational, the Webb team performed a critical alignment phase, with every optical parameter that was tested and tested, and it is performing well above expectations.  We found no significant problems with Webb's optical path, and no measurable contamination or obstruction, the Webb team says, adding that the Webb telescope is now able to successfully collect light from distant objects, and deliver them to its instruments. is enabled.

We know that we have built the right telescope, says Ritva Kesky-Kuha, Webb's deputy optical telescope element manager at NASA Goddard.

The Webb team will proceed through the remaining escape alignment steps, with the Webb team preparing the final science instrumentation, the Webb team will incorporate the Near-Infrared Spectrograph, the Mid-Infrared Instrument, and the Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph to further align the telescope, and  Also an algorithmic tool will be evaluated at this stage of the process.  The team's objective is to achieve a well-aligned telescope in all science instruments, and calculate the final improvements needed. As the final alignment phase of the web begins, the team will adjust for minor and residual position errors in the mirror segments.

By early May, the Webb team is on track to finish all aspects of the Optical Telescope Element alignment, with the Webb team releasing the telescope's first full-resolution imagery and science data over the summer.

Webb is the world's largest space telescope, the purpose of which is to know the secrets of the universe, Webb is a space science observatory, once it is fully operational, it remains in the solar system, to solve the mysteries of the universe.  will help researchers.

In the triple-star system, KOI-5Ab is seen orbiting the primary star...

  KOI-5Ab continues to be a topic of discussion for researchers, as koi-5Ab has been seen orbiting the primary Star, confirming it has also been announced.  koi-5ab revolves around the primary star, it was thought to be a planet half the size of Saturn in a planetary system, and was the only other planet candidate to be detected by the KOI-5Ab mission. Kepler mission operations were initiated by NASA in 2009, by the end of spacecraft operations in 2018, the Kepler spacecraft had discovered 2,394 exoplanets, or planets orbiting stars beyond our sun, and about 2,366 exoplanets such  There are also those, which are still to be confirmed. David Ciardi, chief scientist at NASA's Exoplanet Science Institute, says the KOI-5AB was abandoned, because it was complicated, and we had thousands of candidates, and we were learning something new every day from Kepler, so that the KOI  Mostly forgot to -5. KOI-5Ab is part of the Triple Star system, where KOI-5 is a group of three st...

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will be closed.

NASA briefly informed that the Spitzer Space Telescope will be permanently discontinued on January 30, 2020. After about 16 years of discovering the universe in light energy.  And by that time, the space shuttle has been working for more than 11 years beyond its prime mission, Spitzer examines the universe's various objects in infrared light.  It was in 2003 through the rocket that the American Space Research Organization NASA entered the space and entered the orbit around the Earth.  Spitzer rotates the sun on a path similar to that of the Earth but it runs a bit slower.  Today it is about 158 ​​million miles (254 million kilometers) away from our planet - more than 600 times the distance between Earth and Moon.  The spacing of Spitzer's orbit curve means that when the spacecraft indicates its fixed antenna on the earth to download data or receive commands, its solar panels tend to lean away from the sun.  During those periods, to operate the space shut...

SpaceX is launching its next dragon spacecraft.

SpaceX is preparing for its next mission, very soon Spacex will launch the Dragon Spacecraft with its Falcon 9 Rocket.   SpaceX is the 18th commercial reproduction service mission, dragon spacecraft will be loaded with dozens of experiments made in space.  Launch date: Sunday, July 21, 2019 at 7:35 pm  International Space Station (ISS) us  The National Laboratory SpaceX's dragon is giving a finalization to more than two dozen payloads for launch in a circular circular laboratory.  Many of these payloads are aimed at improving human health on the earth, many of which are focused on drug development.  In addition, a series of payloads from identified private sector partners will be launched on this mission.  More than 40 student experiments and demonstrations have been included on the 18th Commercial Recepti Services Mission (CRS-18) of SpaceX.  One part of ISS American National Laboratory's goal is to encourage and engage next generation scientists.                          ...
