The mission of the James Webb Space Telescope will be to find the first galaxies formed after the Big Bang and determine the evolution of galaxies from their initial formation to the present.

One of the most powerful telescopes ever built in the world is one step closer to being launched into space. NASA scientists hope that it can understand the origin of our universe by surpassing distant worlds and stars, thereby unlocking the solar system. Mystery.  

The James Webb Space Telescope completed refueling at the Guyana Space Center in Kuru, French Guiana last week. Now the engineers are in charge of the assembly building, where the telescope will be carefully placed on top of the rocket.   

If everything goes according to plan, the telescope will be launched on December 22, and its mission time will be no less than 5 to 12 years. Scientists expect it to last more than 10 years, but this depends on the amount of fuel it uses and whether it maintains normal function in orbit. 

According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the telescope will soar 1 million miles from the earth and will be equipped with 12 rocket thrusters. The telescope has a unique design with 18 gold-plated hexagonal mirrors that mimic a honeycomb shape, allowing the telescope to see infrared light with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. Each mirror segment can be unfolded and adjusted in shape after launch.

The scope is also equipped with a five-layer sunshade the size of a tennis court, which can reduce the influence of solar heat by more than one million times. 

The launch of Webb takes a long time, because the development of the telescope began in 1996, and it is regarded as the successor to NASA's Hubble Telescope, which was originally launched into space in 1990. Hubble is designed to be regularly serviced by astronauts in space, and its mission is to spend at least 15 years exploring the deepest part of the universe. 

Hubble has successfully lasted longer than this, operating and observing space for more than 30 years.

Now is the time for Weber to assume the responsibility of space observation, and scientists intend to make it the premier observatory for the next decade, serving thousands of astronomers around the world. 

Weber's mission will be to find the first galaxy or luminous object formed after the Big Bang, and to determine how the galaxy has evolved from its initial formation to the present. The telescope is also expected to observe the process of stars from the initial stage to the final formation of planets. 

Weber will also measure the physical and chemical properties of planets to study the potential of life.

Once Webb launches on December 22, it will take about a month for the telescope to reach Earth orbit. Upon arrival, the engineer still needs six months to confirm whether Webb is deployed correctly and whether all instruments are working properly. At that time, if all goes well, Weber's task will begin.

Webb is worth nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars and has experienced a series of delays as NASA's most complex scientific mission. Webb is an international cooperation project between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. NASA shares all the responsibility for the Webb mission.
