The James Webb Space Telescope has officially completed its time at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.

00:00:08.060 --> 00:00:12.200
assembled, and tested the telescope.

5
00:00:12.220 --> 00:00:12.300
In 2017, the telescope passed major tests to help it get ready for space.

00:00:20.370 --> 00:00:24.380
One major extreme cold optical test remains,

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:28.510
One major extreme cold optical test remains,

10
00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:32.560
which requires a test chamber bigger than any at Goddard.

11
00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:36.650
Enter Chamber NASA's largest cryogenic vacuum chamber, located at Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX.

12
00:00:36.670 --> 00:00:40.680
Webb recently made the trip from NASA Goddard to Johnson.

Webb's transporter is a specially designed climate-controlled container.

17
00:00:56.850 --> 00:01:00.870
It is called the Space Telescope Transporter for Air Road and Sea, or STTARS.

20
00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:13.010
STTARS is so tall

21
00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:17.040
that some streetlights and power cables had to be lifted.

00:01:21.070 --> 00:01:25.090
Inside Chamber A, the telescope will spend about 100 days in a freezer that mimics the temperatures in space.

24
00:01:25.110 --> 00:01:29.120
Inside Chamber A, the telescope will spend about 100 days in a freezer that mimics the temperatures in space.

25
00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:33.150
Light will pass through the telescope to recheck all its optics and ensure they are correctly aligned.
