The Webb Space telescope is almost ready for its major launch,This was stated by experts from NASA after they conducted vibration tests on the space equipment,

On a report posted by PhysOrg,The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is promptly deemed "sound" and clearly safe, engineers have assumed, based on results from a new batch of absolute examinations of the observatory's construction, after concerns were proposed in early December when specialists initially discovered "anomalous readings" throughout a preplanned series of vibration tests.

According to a report posted by Space Daily, despite the defect, the equipment has surpassed other test and reached a number of milestones even before its major launch. The first milestone was achieved in February 2016, with the completion of the 6.5-metre diameter fundamental mirror, the enormous mirror structure ever invented to fly in space. The 18th and last hexagonal segment, which measures 1.3 meters across, was driven into position on the telescope structure utilizing a specially developed robotic arm.

In order to suit within the protective fairing of the Ariane 5 launch vehicle, the primary mirror is placed on an arrangement that folds up like a drop-leaf table. Once the space telescope starts its operational mission in outer space, all the primary mirror segments can be moved and their deflection changed to make sure that they act like a single, giant mirror.

After conveying both "visual and ultrasonic examinations" at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, astronomical experts have found it to be competent at this point with "no noticeable signs of damage."James Webb is an infrared astronomical telescope and is recognized as the replacement to the Hubble Space Telescope. It will be competent to scrutinize into the distant universe, peeling back stories about the early history of the cosmos. This modern equipment costs $8,8 billion.
