The artistic vision of 2015 shows the James Webb space telescope. On June 27, 2018, NASA announced that it was planning to launch the telescope no earlier than 2021, and its cost should reach almost $ 10 billion.
NASA is delaying the launch of the next generation telescope. June 27 announced that James Webb should start no earlier than 2021. The delay will result in the total cost of the observatory reaching $ 10 billion.
Officials indicate a production error, which caused the launch to be postponed. Despite all the problems, the independent monitoring commission calls for the continuation of work on the project.
Last month, NASA announced that the mount had left the telescope during the vibration test. The agency considers the telescope the highest scientific priority. This is the receiver of the Hubble Space Telescope, which has been rotating since 1990.
