any movement at all anymore they just softly touch down and that's it both made it well done spacex i think corey nailed it very much there might be a bit much vertical movement to soften the catch in the animation as i don't believe that this much will be needed or that the chopsticks will be able to move that fast but technically this does come very very close to what we might see at the first attempt i'm not saying it's an easy task but it's not impossible either spacex already possesses the tech needed to steer a booster back to a landing site though and even after NUMBER_TOKEN successful landings they're still the only company in the world to return orbital class boost us back to earth for reuse it's a challenging task but spacex has already achieved similarly complicated tasks before what do you think will spacex have difficulty achieving the first successful catch or will they get it right on the first try as always tell me in the comments chief produced so much footage of the megazilla testing it's far too much to show on a single episode that's why we have y plus if you want to see it all head over to our sub channel subscribe and see every little detail directly from the y cam jwst updates last but certainly not least for today's episode let's take a look at the most complex space telescope ever built and how it's been doing so far the james webb space telescope is making stunning progress it's on its way to the lagrange NUMBER_TOKEN point roughly NUMBER_TOKEN million kilometers behind earth as seen from the sun and it has a full list of things to do until it arrives there since its launch it's gone through dozens of deployment steps and so far has completed all of them successfully on january NUMBER_TOKENth for example they finished deploying webb's sunshield all five layers got extended and tensioned successfully the shield provides protection on the level of more than spf NUMBER_TOKEN million if it were sunscreen lotion and is needed for the very sensitive infrared telescope to perform at peak efficiency the secondary mirror was deployed successfully as well and it latched in place safely then came the primary mirror wings both expanded as planned and latched which marks full deployment so the first challenging phase of deployment is over and you can breathe slower now not much though now comes half a year of mirror alignment and instrument cooling until it will be ready to deliver the first images actuators behind each mirror enable the aligning or phasing of the telescope's NUMBER_TOKEN hexagonally shaped primary mirror segments to function as a single NUMBER_TOKEN meter mirror the mirrors actuators are so precise that they can move in steps that are a fraction of a wavelength of light or about NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN of the diameter of a human hair james webb will use a single star as the focal point and adjust all mirrors so that in the end only one single and very crisp star is visible actually it won't be that crisp once that is finished a process called wavefront sensing and control is utilized to align and very finely focus the mirrors a special laser acts like a star and a device called a multi-wavelength interferometer then focuses the laser further and further all this is monitored and operated from the space telescope science institute in baltimore maryland and they seem to be doing an incredible job so far thank you very much for working so hard on this important project fingers crossed for the rest of
START_INTERACTION_TOKEN what do you think will spacex have difficulty achieving the first successful catch or will they get it right on the first try as always tell me in the comments chief produced so much footage of the megazilla testing it's far too much to show on a single episode that's why we have y plus if you want to see it all head over to our sub channel subscribe and see every little detail directly from the y cam END_INTERACTION_TOKEN
