incredible the solidity it has !! I see every in cam!!
Just how tough is @NASAWebb? Tough enough to survive the shaking shown here, which simulated the vibration of a rocket launch! Check out this Q&A for more examples of #Webb’s hardiness: https://go.nasa.gov/2B0opAH #JWST GIF Credit: #NASA/Michael P. Menzelpic.twitter.com/GHMIdYfnpz

With a Primary mirror extending upto 21 feet, the fragility is high. Watch the video to see how it’s tested to withstand strong vibrations. Great work!!

Why haven't you landed man back on the moon? Better cameras now. Was it all a lie? Plant a newer bigger US flag there

Is the GIF sped up? Or is it the actual vibration frequency that it handled?

Webb was mounted on a "shaker table" and experienced the simulated forces the telescope will feel during launch by vibrating it from 5 to 100 times per second. Read more here:https://go.nasa.gov/2ABTut9

Do you test Astronauts like that??
