All five layers of sunshield tensioning complete @NASAWebb! Amazing achievement! #JWST is the coolest thing in space and on course to #UnfoldTheUniverse #GoWebb!
This is it: we’ve just wrapped up one of the most challenging steps of our journey to #UnfoldTheUniverse. With all five layers of sunshield tensioning complete, about 75% of our 344 single-point failures have been retired!
