0:30.0 | Welcome to Space News, I'm Braden, I'm Dan. And we're up here in the orbiting meteor |
0:42.0 | studios. Let me patch in. Oh, there he is. What's going on, Zell? You guys look good |
0:48.4 | up there. It's, you know, it's, it's lonely, a little cold up here, but you know, the |
0:53.5 | view is pretty nice. Well, let's get right into a little bit of space news. Alright, first |
1:01.0 | up we had truly historic milestone. The James Webb telescope has been fully deployed. |
1:08.7 | I guess now we're just waiting for pictures. Or if it works. Yeah, it's got to run through |
1:13.7 | a couple checks before it does that. We got another couple months waiting until it, it's |
1:19.4 | fully functional. Right. So it's primary mirror has been fully deployed. The major components |
1:26.0 | are all now deployed with this, this like the last step pretty much, right? So it's operational. |
1:30.3 | Now we've got some system checks. And then we start seeing some amazing, because isn't |
1:34.9 | this thing going like a million miles? Yeah. Oh, wait, it's hitting the, it's setting |
1:41.5 | itself up in one of the Lagrange points, or Lagrange points, which there are five of |
1:48.4 | around between the sun and earth. And once it gets there, these little, it'll maintain |
1:54.5 | that little orbit, like it's a gravitational pocket of stability out there. Once it gets |
1:58.8 | there, you know, it'll run through it's like the little motors, it's got a fine tune, |
2:04.5 | the mirrors inside of it, the like 18 segment primary mirror that it's got. All of those |
2:09.5 | things are on independent little, little mechanism. So they all have to kind of like get |
2:15.3 | a couple fine tunes. And then they, you know, flex and bend it and then get some pretty |
2:21.2 | snappy pictures. I think there's a couple I said about like several months they're looking |
2:25.3 | at. So. Right. So it's sitting in like a perfect balance of gravity between the earth and |
