Hi All,

On 2021-12-27 15:16:12, I wrote to you:

Today it passed the 1.000.000 km mark from earth, after 12 days and some hours
of flight. "Only about 440.000 km's of flight remain to it's final
destination, but that will take another 17 days.

Sofar all deployments (like putting the heatshield and secondary mirror into
place) where succesfull! Only the deployment of the Port and Starboard Primary
Mirror Wings remain. These last deployments will start tomorrow.

A good place for additional information is: https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/
Most days there are multiple updates of what is going on with the JWST...

Bye, Wilfred.
