NASA’s JamesWebbSpaceTelescope recently suffered a micrometeoroid strike by a particle larger than any that the team had modeled for.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope recently suffered a micrometeoroid strike to one of its 18 primary mirror segments, though engineers working on the mission insist the damage has been minimal.
Analysis of the damage to the mirror segment is ongoing, but NASA said the early indications are that the telescope is continuing to perform “at a level that exceeds all mission requirements despite a marginally detectable effect in the data.” In a bid to avoid such strikes, NASA is able to instruct the spacecraft to perform protective maneuvers that move the telescope’s delicate optics away from known meteor showers heading its way.
