EXPLORES
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is
the largest and most complex space
science observatory ever built to
transform our view of the universe and
deliver world-class science.

Led by NASA, in partnership with the


European and Canadian space agencies,
Webb is an international collaboration
involving hundreds of scientists and
thousands of engineers.
About the

WEBB
MISSION
Webb will study every phase of
13.5 billion years of cosmic history –
from within our solar system to the most
distant observable galaxies in the early
universe, and everything in between.

Where is Webb Tracker


Mission Webb will orbit the Sun at the second Lagrange point, called L2, which
is located one million miles from Earth.

QUICK FACTS Webb’s sunshield is the size of a tennis court. It protects the sensitive
equipment by creating a difference in temperature between the hot and
cold sides of the spacecraft of almost 600 degrees Fahrenheit!

INNOVATES
NASA innovates for the benefit of humanity:
Webb is one of the great engineering feats
of humanity.

Engineers invented 10 new technologies to


detect infrared light of distant astronomical
objects that benefit us here on Earth – with
applications in medicine, aerospace, and
other fields.

Innovative spinoff technology has


produced advances in eye surgery and
better diagnoses of eye diseases.
