During final testing, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is pictured, fully expanding and locking into place, just as it would in space. The conclusion of this test represents the team's final checkpoint in a long series of tests designed to ensure Webb's 18 hexagonal mirrors are prepared for a long journey in space. After this, all of Webb's many movable parts will have confirmed in testing that they can perform their intended operations after being exposed to the expected launch environment. As of December 15, 2021, the JWST team was working on a communication issue between the observatory and the launch vehicle system, delaying the launch date to no earlier than Friday, December 24.
