3D James Webb Telescope

The challenge in this game is to put the James Webb Telescope into orbit and then assemble it to be able to see all the way to the origins of the universe.

3D Game with orbits and controls to understund how it works.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope and an international collaboration among NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).The telescope is named after James E. Webb, who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 and played an integral role in the Apollo program. It is intended to succeed the Hubble Space Telescope as NASA's flagship mission in astrophysics. JWST was launched December 25, 2021 on Ariane flight VA256. It is designed to provide improved infrared resolution and sensitivity over Hubble, viewing objects up to 100 times fainter and will enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology, including observations up to redshift z≈20 of some of the oldest, most distant, events and objects in the Universe such as the first stars and formation of the first galaxies, and allowing detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.
