The machine looked back at NASA's past and had trouble crashing the screw
continued to encounter technical problems in testing at Northrop Grumman factory in southern California.
Greg Robinson, JWST program director of the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) revealed screws and gaskets that fell from the sunscreen division of the James Webb space telescope during a presentation at the Research Institute. Save the National Universe on 3/5. Sunscreen is as big as a tennis court designed to protect telescopes in front of light and high temperatures.

According to Robinson, the falling hardware has a role to increase the telescope's reliability, but is not related to the optical function of the device. Periodic mechanical and acoustic vibration testing evaluates the harsh environmental resistance in the telescope's universe."Right now we believe that all this hardware, ie screws and gaskets here, comes from sunscreen. We are considering the impact and repair plan , " Robinson said.
This is not the first time the James Webb space telescope has experienced an incident before the launch. Previously, the sunscreen of the device had been torn and the valves in the propulsion leaked. These incidents forced NASA to backtrack from the initial scheduled time of 2019.
Robinson is confident the program is still on schedule for the launch schedule in 2020. He explained that the incident did not affect the progress of the schedule, including the time it took to repair. In a March announcement, NASA said the James Webb space telescope needed more time to complete the final system and pass tests to ensure successful missions.
According to NASA, the James Webb telescope will search for the first galaxies formed in the early universe and see through the cloud of dust to observe stars that make up the planetary system."This is a time machine with optical devices sensitive enough to look back past 13.5 billion years," said Scott Willoughby, a member of the assembly team for telescope James Webb.
James Webb will replace NASA, becoming the most powerful space telescope in history. Its two largest parts are the main mirror face and sunscreen. The glass will launch on Ariane 5 rocket in Guiana province, South America, 2020.
