Some of the most crucial—and harrowing—steps in the James Webb Space Telescope's deployment process are already out of the way.

Since its Christmas morning launch, the James Webb Space Telescope has made all the right moves. Now it has passed through the final stretch of its complex deployment phase.

Launching NASA's most valuable observatory is stressful enough, but Webb must also unfold itself in space. It has 344 single-failure points.

The James Webb Telescope has finally unfurled its rightmost primary mirror wing, completing the deployment process. It will now travel for about two more weeks to its final destination in deep space.
