James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) | The Webb Telescope Journey to Space Part 1: Packed and Transported to the Ship @NASAWebbTelescope | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 5 hours ago
This is the beginning of the James Webb Space Telescope’s journey to space! It started with engineers packing the telescope into the protective transport container. The container was then moved from Northrop Grumman in Redondo Beach, CA to Seal Beach, CA. Waiting at Seal Beach was the ship, the MN Colibri, which would carry Webb to the port near the launch site in French Guiana.
