Hi All,

On 2022-01-06 22:05:01, I wrote to you:

From this blog:

"Today, at 1:17 p.m. EST, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope completed all of
its large-scale deployments with the extension and latching of its starboard
primary mirror wing. Now that the telescope is structurally fully deployed -
with the secondary mirror tripod and both primary mirror wings in place - the
three-month process of aligning all of Webb?s telescope optics into a precise
system can now commence."

Another milestone!

Bye, Wilfred.
