Visiting the James Webb Space Telescope

1 hour 19 minutes | Wednesday, July 7, 2021

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is expected to be 100 times as powerful as its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope. We talk with three leaders of the effort to build, launch and deploy it as soon as November of this year. These conversations were recorded on the other side of a window facing the Northrop Grumman clean room in which technicians were putting the finishing touches on the observatory. Bruce Betts salutes Webb with a special What’s Up Random Space Fact.  Discover more at https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/jwst-vila-ochs-robinson
