space telescope James Webb has made news in recent days due to the breathtaking images it has shown of our deep universe. However, everything would be completely different if the error in space had a negative effect on the probe. POT.

The scientists behind the project found that James Webb he had a problem with sunscreen on the way to his destination, which caused a “panic” in the laboratories of the planet.

James Webb and his almost irreparable flaw

According to Karl Starr, who is in charge of the mission, in the process of deploying his sensors and systems, James Webb could not properly deploy sun visors over panels telescope.

From the earth POT He did not receive an answer about the success of this act, so the process was stopped. After that, Starr says, “we tried to activate it again, but it didn’t work.” “Maybe he got stuck somehow. It was very serious, I don’t know how to describe it, but everything was quiet and people became very solemn,” he says in the documentary. science channel.

Minutes passed, and the confirmation signal did not work. Fortunately, the engineers on the ground had telemetry data, a fact for which only these panels are responsible, and they concluded that the sunscreens were correctly deployed, but did not activate the switch.

More problems on the way

This problem was not the only one he faced. James Webb since it also suffered from the impact of micrometeorites.

How POT, “Of the six micrometeorite impacts detected so far, five have had minor impacts. On the contrary, the micrometeorite that hit segment C3 between May 22-24, 2022 UTC caused significant and irreparable changes in the general condition of this segment.”

However, nothing seems to stop a space telescope that will last 10 years. His mission is more than important, the discovery of the first galaxies and stars of existence, as well as an attempt to answer the main question of mankind: are we alone in the Universe?
