NASA JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE
“COMMUNICATIONS ISSUE” DELAYS LAUNCH — AGAIN
The James Webb Space Telescope, the multi-billion-dollar instrument on which the hopes and dreams of astronomers worldwide rest, has had to delay its launch again!
From 2018 until now, this is the 7th time James Webb has been delayed!
What the hell is going on with NASA?
Let’s find the answer in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
The Dec. 22 launch will not happen!
Engineers discovered an intermittent data dropout associated with a piece of ground support equipment after connecting the James Webb Space Telescope with its Ariane 5 launcher over the weekend in French Guiana.
As a result, the observatory’s long-awaited blastoff will be delayed at least two days to Dec. 24 to troubleshoot the problem.
The mission was previously set for takeoff on Dec. 22 from the European-run Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana, on the northeastern coast of South America.
Everything had been going so well. The telescope was fueled up, boxed up. And the final step in preparation for Webb’s blastoff also occurred Saturday (Dec. 11) when the observatory was raised atop its Ariane 5 launch vehicle.
But a technical issue held up the next step in the launch campaign.
In a brief statement, NASA wrote on its website late Tuesday that the Webb team is “working on a communications issue between the observatory and the launch vehicle system.”
Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator for NASA’s science mission directorate, said Tuesday that engineers found an “interface problem” in a system that communicates with Webb while it’s on top of the Ariane 5 rocket.
“The way to think about it is it’s a ground support equipment thing… Basically, the data cables are dropping some frames.”
Technicians inside the Ariane 5 rocket’s final assembly building in Kourou have tried to diagnose the problem, but so far, haven’t been able to resolve it.
“Tomorrow, we’re going up there with the ground support equipment, and just really making sure we can flush out where the issue is,” Zurbuchen said. “We’ve tried a bunch of things, and we just haven’t been successful. This is a 100-meter cable that goes all the way from the top of the rocket to somebody’s computer. Somewhere in there (is the problem), is our guess.
