James Webb space
telescope
3. ï§ It is also called WEBB or JWST
ï§ It a large space base observatory telescope
ï§ It optimised for infrared wavelength
ï§ Include answering some of our most
Fundamental questions about the origin of
the cosmos
ï§ It will be located near the earth â sun l2
point
ï§ It is 1,500,000 kilometers (930,000 mi) from
earth, directly opposite to the sun
4. ï§Launch date:25 Dec 2021 at
5:50pm(IST)
ï§Power :2000 watts
ï§Launch mass :6161 kg
ï§Cost :1000 crores USD
ï§Launch site: Guiana space
centre
ï§Organization: European space
agency, NASA , Canadian space

5. ï§ This space based observation is named
james E webb
ï§ The project represents an international
collaboration od about 17 countries
ï§ The james webb space telescope
originated in 1996 as the next generation
space telescope (NGST)
ï§ Launch is scheduled for 2018 on an
Ariane 5 rocket. Itâs nominal mission
length is of five years.
6. ï§ It will be the largest space
telescope
ï§ It has four main element
they are:
ï§ The telescope
ï§ The instrument module
ï§ The sunshine
ï§ The space craft bus
7. ï§According to the NASA the james
webb space telescope will focus
on four main areas first light in
the universe , assembly of
galaxies in the early universe,
the birth of stars and proto
planetary system, and plants (
including the origins of life)
8. ï§Infrared light emitted by these
regions can penetrative this dusty
cloud and reveal what is inside
ï§JEST will offer unprecedented
resolution and sensitivity from
long
ï§Wavelength visible to the mod
Infrared
ï§Understand the formation of star
and planets
9. ï§James web space telescope
capabilities will enable a broad
range of investigation across
the fields of astronomy and
cosmology. It observes some of
the most distant object in the
universe, Beyond the reach of
current ground and space base
instruments.
