First two shots pan right to the telescope. Last shot is a static show of the backside of the telescope A rare behind-the-scenes look at NASA’s largest and most powerful space telescopeSee inside the cleanroom where the James Webb Space Telescope is being built right nowWebb will look further back in time to find the first galaxies that formed in the early universeThe James Webb Space Telescope stands tall in the world’s largest cleanroom at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center for the last time. Give your viewers a behind the scenes look at the cleanroom on Thursday, March 30 from 6 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ET to see the engineering marvel and learn what makes Webb the biggest and most powerful space telescope ever built.Fully assembled, the Webb telescope is as tall as a three-story building. The size of the telescope is significant for the kinds of observations it will make. Webb will find the very first galaxies that formed after the Big Bang, answer fundamental questions about the evolution of our universe, and help in the search for life and habitable planets. Webb’s detectors can record extremely faint signals that will help us study planetary systems around other stars, and maybe even determine if any of the seven recently discovered Earth-sized planets orbiting the nearby TRAPPIST-1 star could support life.After rigorous testing at NASA Goddard, the Webb telescope is one step closer to launch. Engineers spent months testing space hardware in vibration and acoustics test facilities to ensure Webb will withstand the ride into space. Next, the Webb telescope will ship to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston for another important space environment test.Launching in 2018, the premiere space observatory will fold origami-style into an Ariane 5 rocket and deploy like a transformer once in space. Webb will travel nearly 1 million miles away from Earth to its home orbit at the second Lagrange point, or L2.**To Book a Window**Contact Clare Skelly – clare.a.skelly@nasa.gov / (301) 286-4994 officeHD Satellite Coordinates for G17-K18/LO: Galaxy 17 Ku-band Xp 18 Slot Lower| 91.0 ° W Longitude | DL 12051.0 MHz | Vertical Polarity | QPSK/DVB-S | FEC 3/4 | SR 13.235 Mbps | DR 18.2954 MHz | HD 720p | Format MPEG2 | Chroma Level 4:2:0 | Audio EmbeddedSuggested questions:1. What is the James Webb Space Telescope and how is it different from the Hubble Space Telescope?2. Once it launches, the Webb telescope will travel a million miles away from Earth. How do you know it will work so far away?3. Webb is the largest space telescope ever built. How do you build and test a three story tall telescope on Earth for what it will encounter in a very different environment in space?4. NASA recently discovered seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a nearby star. Will Webb study these to determine if they can support life?5. Where can we learn more?Location: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center / Greenbelt, MarylandInterviews with:Eric Smith / James Webb Space Telescope Program Director and Program ScientistBill Ochs / James Webb Space Telescope Project ManagerAmber Straughn / James Webb Space Telescope Science Communications Deputy ProjectScientistJane Rigby / James Webb Space Telescope Deputy Project Scientist for OperationsBegoña Vila [Spanish speaker] / James Webb Space Telescope Instrument Systems EngineerVideo: NASA will roll all insert videos during live interviews.
