1
00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:09,000
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is folded and ready for its final suite of testing.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Folding the telescope into its “stowed position”is a careful operation.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,000
The back half of the rolled-up sunshield pulls in first.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Then the optical portion lowers.

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,000
The front panel of the sunshield completes the action.

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
The telescope will launch in this folded position.

7
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,000


8
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,000
About 30 minutes after launch,Webb will begin its multi-week unfolding.

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,339
About 30 minutes after launch,Webb will begin its multi-week unfolding.
