James Webb Space Telescope Launch Pushed Back to 2021

As it stated in NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has suffered numerous setbacks and delays, but it continues to inch ever closer to launch. The IRB says that work on the telescope should continue (obviously), but the board has set a new launch date in 2021. The JWST is intended as a successor to the aging Hubble Space Telescope. Earlier this year, NASA pushed the Webb launch back to at least mid-2020. Now read: The 25 Best Hubble Space Telescope Images




NASA's James Webb Space Telescope launch set back to 2021

NASA announced yesterday that its highly anticipated James Webb Space Telescope is delaying its launch — again. But after accepting the recommendations of an independent review board, NASA has announced that the launch has been rescheduled for early 2021. For a mission that's been deemed NASA's "next big telescope," it's not surprising there'd be a few bumps in the road. Following in the footsteps of the Hubble Telescope, Webb will have improved "sight" thanks to its abilities to see longer wavelengths, like infrared. While this mission represents an exciting new opportunity to explore deeper into space, NASA and other federally funded space agencies aren't the only game in town any more.
