Description

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), full-scale model built by the main contractor Northrop Grumman. This is an infrared telescope that is scheduled to be launched in 2018. It will have a 6.5-metre-diameter mirror (yellow), with which it will study the formation of stars and planetary systems, and the history of the universe. It will also study dark matter. The aluminium and steel model weighs 5.5 tonnes and is about 24 metres long. It has been exhibited in public locations around the USA. Assembly of the model takes a crew of twelve some four days. Photographed at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, Texas, USA, in March 2013.
