"This afternoon our team fired what we call our station keeping thruster. They fired that thruster for five minutes and we put about 1,5 m/s in, which pretty much caps off all of our mid-course correction maneuvers along the way (to L2)," kata Keith Parrish (JWST observatory commissioning manager) kepada media saat telekonferensi.

"We got all of our mirrors out of their launch configuration (this week)," tambahnya. "The spacecraft team has continued to put the spacecraft through all of its paces, and the flight operations team, mission operation team, and all of our engineer teams have really become comfortable with operating Webb and continuing to get to know it."

"Also in the past few days, we've gotten our high-speed data system up and running. We can now transmit at the high data rates we need to get all that awesome science data back down to the ground when we start doing science."

"The last 30 days have been absolutely remarkable, and we've got it behind us and it's an incredible accomplishment by entire team," pungkas Parrish.
