NASA reversed the time of launching the James Webb space telescope until 2020

An official of the US Aeronautics and Aeronautics Agency (NASA) said on March 27 that he will delay the expected time to launch a new giant space telescope into space as early as May 2020.

The space telescope expected to be launched here is called a replacement in the near future. Initially, the James Webb telescope is expected to be launched into space and operational this year, but recently there have been a number of issues that have caused the launch time to be pushed back.

The James Webb telescope is very modern with 100 times greater sensitivity than Hubble glass and will be launched into space to help astronomers find solutions to the mysteries in the vast universe.

The James Webb project has a collaboration with European and Canadian space agencies and is currently being scrutinized by US lawmakers because the cost is too high compared to the original estimate of only 3.5 billion. USD.

The James Webb telescope is expected to weigh about 6,100kg, the main mirror face is about 6.5m in diameter, 3 times larger than the Hubble telescope. It will carry four measuring devices, including camcorders and spectrophotometers, to capture very weak signals. At the same time, the glass is capable of emitting infrared rays that help to observe objects from a distance and its lenses can operate for long periods of time.

According to NASA, James Webb will have to undergo tests in different environments such as vibration, sound and heat environments, all environments that when launched into space, the James Webb telescope will must face to face.

The James Webb telescope is named after NASA's second leader from 1961-1968, it is expected to be launched into space by Ariane-5 rocket from French Guiana territory.
