Webb Telescope Sine Vibration Testing B-Roll

Released on March 31, 2017

Engineers move the Webb Telescope out of the SSDIF cleanroom and onto the vibration facility at Goddard Space Flight Center. It is here that Webb will undergo its most rigerous testing yet. These Sine vibration tests simulate the vibrations the telescope will feel during launch on the Ariane V Rocket. These tests are critical to demonstrating the hardware is safe to launch. Once the tests are complete, the telescope is moved back into the cleanroom.

Engineers at Goddard Space Flight Center move the Webb Telescope out of the cleanroom and onto the vibration facility. Sine vibration tests are then conducted on the telescope to demonstrate that the hardware is safe to launch.
