Go inside the unprecedented construction of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful and expensive space observatory ever built. This video reveals every step of creating this $10 billion infrared telescope, from polishing 18 gold-coated beryllium mirror segments to the revolutionary deployment one million miles from Earth that will show us the birth of the universe itself.
Watch as engineers achieve nanometer-precision mirror polishing, apply microscopically thin gold coatings for optimal infrared reflectivity, assemble the iconic 21.3-foot hexagonal primary mirror, fabricate a tennis-court-sized sunshield keeping instruments at -400°F, integrate four revolutionary science instruments, survive 100 days of cryogenic testing in NASA's historic Chamber A, deploy 344 single-point failures perfectly in space, and deliver the deepest views of the universe ever captured.
Operating at L2, Webb is designed for a minimum 10-year mission, though its careful launch and efficient trajectory have left enough propellant for potentially 20+ years of operations. The telescope continues to make groundbreaking discoveries weekly, fundamentally changing our understanding of the cosmos and our place in it.
