From making an impact on the universe to feeling like a member of the team in every role, Northrop Grumman employees have defined possible over and over again while building the Webb Telescope.
This three part series chronicles the historic development, build, deployment and success of the James Webb Space Telescope, lead by Northrop Grumman.
Before we could begin to build the most complex telescope ever, we had to invent technologies that never existed before. For many employees, the opportunity to work on Webb was the opening for boundless opportunity. From a new element ton the Periodic Table to embracing digital transformation to creating zero gravity here on earth, Northrop Grumman employees created something that the entire universe can be proud of.
Webb will make observations once thought to be impossible. The groundbreaking mirror and powerful instruments will discover and study distant planetary systems. Webb will also look deep into the past, to a time when the earliest stars and galaxies were born.
