Summary[edit]

Description

A big beautiful sight! Here's the "bones" of the ‪James Webb Space Telescope - upright, making it easy to imagine it with mirrors in space...

Here the telescope structure is facing away from us, with its side "wings" (which will also have mirrors on them) folded. The mirrors go on the side facing away, and the instruments in back of them. The secondary mirror boom is folded on top.

The person is standing right next to the Deployable Tower Assembly, which is is designed to raise the JWST telescope structure off the spacecraft bus after launch.
