Beautiful launch and deployment. So many things could have gone wrong.

  • Interesting that it will take nearly a month to fully deploy, and then another six to calibrate. I heard one commentator say that the mirror calibration motors can move as slowly as grass growing. Looking forward to some interesting images late Summer or early Fall.
