IT House January 22 news, the james Webb telescope's official Twitter account announced today that the team plans to complete the final ignition correction on January 24, setting the orbit to lagrange point L2 stable orbit.

From the schematic, the space telescope will fluctuate forward in a wheel-like form, with a small orbital surface being a longitudinal circle and a large orbit still orbiting the sun. This orbit allows space telescopes to stay relatively close to Earth while staying farther away from the sun to reduce interference.

IT House learned that the James Webb Space Telescope was launched on January 9 aboard the Ariane 5 rocket, and has since undergone a series of activities such as visor unfolding and mirror unfolding. Three months after launch, the telescope will calibrate and debug all mirrors, including the main mirror, so that the signal can be accurately aggregated after observation.
