Updates James Webb Space Telescope updates

[gamer19]

All these years and they didn't add an onboard camera to the rocket...

Fairing separation!

Orbiter was always ahead of its time

Tons of stuff flying around.... hope none of it gets in the mirrors.

yeah, I was thinking the same. Constellation Urine ?
there were some... you know "we're venting something into space" moment and there's no any comment so I brace for a disaster
but then comments continue... turns out it was a false alarm ? sigh

Hope that it doesn´t cause stutter on the Matrix.

That was a great launch, let's hope everything else will work equally well. Can't wait first images...

Yeah, I saw that too, some particles flying away form JWST after solar array deployment. Any ideas what they were ?

Orbiter even had Bullet Time cam in 2003!

Could be restraints for the solar arrays during launch. Since it the probe is going to the edge of the gravity well, there is less reason to keep them attached to the satellite, like usual now for orbital launches.

I don't want to jinx anything, but I'm starting to believe JWST will launch safely.

 

[MaxBuzz]

the main thing is that it does not collide with the Spektr-RG telescope at the L2 point. otherwise the world will be left without space telescopes

Well Ariane 5 and ESA did their part of the job, that's a relief here.

As promised, I have added the image of Ariane 5 in my wall collage of spaceflight images.

Hello boys, long time no see. Returned to the forum because of JWSP excitement! What do you think about the possibility of finding evidence for photosynthetic life being present on other planets?
