James Webb Space Telescope Mirrors readied for cyrogenic testing

Uploaded by NASAMarshallTV on Jul 31, 2009
Three of the 18 James Webb Space Telescope mirror segments were mounted on a test stand July 30 at the X-ray & Cryogenic Facility at NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. The mirror segments are being moved into the facilitys cryogenic vacuum chamber, which will chill them to minus 414 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure they can withstand the extreme temperatures of space. As this cooling takes place, engineers and technicians from NASA and Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. of Boulder, Colo., will measure in extreme detail how the shapes of the mirrors change, simulating how they'll react to temperature changes in space.

@tietie1424 best way to find out more is to read the scientific articles published in the SPIE conference proceedings... (if you can get access to them) the authors are the people doing the work!

This is not a telescope its a coverup it's really a laser cannon designed to shoot at the flying spaggeti monster.
