JWST mirror finishes cryogenic test
The James Webb Space Telescope's first mirror segment has completed
its initial series of temperature trials.


cryogenic testingThe first mirror segment that will fly on the James
Webb Space Telescope has completed its initial series of cryogenic
temperature tests in the X-ray and Cryogenic Facility at the Marshall
Space Flight Centre in Huntsville, US.

The segment is the first of 18 mirror segments that will be joined to
make a giant, 6.5 meter diameter hexagonal mirror. During the test,
the segment was subject to temperatures of -248 degrees Centigrade in
a 215 cubic-metre helium-cooled vacuum chamber at NASA Marshall.
