The pictures show how technicians install small metal rods into the finished Webb sun visor openings to maintain the alignment of 5 layers the size of a tennis court. This method eliminates the need to activate devices to protect from the rays, reducing the time for repair work in a few months.
The unfolding and folding of the huge sun screen of the James Webb Space Telescope during the testing period can be time consuming. But engineers managed to find a way to make the process much faster by temporarily installing small pencil-sized rods that keep the silver sun shield neat during inspection and repair.

The solar panel separates the observatory from the hot side turned to the Sun (warms up to 230 degrees Fahrenheit) and cold spatial (-400 degrees Fahrenheit).
Space Telescope James Webb will become the world's space scientific observatory. He will solve the mysteries of the solar system, will be able to explore distant worlds and explore the mysterious structures and the origin of the universe, as well as our place in it. This is an international project led by NASA and in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CAC).
