    NASA Sets Coverage, Invites Public to View Webb Telescope Launch

    NASA will provide coverage of prelaunch, launch, and postlaunch activities for the James Webb Space Telescope, the world’s largest and most powerful space science telescope.

    Webb is targeted to launch at 7:20 a.m. EST Saturday, Dec. 25, on an ESA-provided Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on the northeastern coast of South America.

    Live launch coverage in English will begin at 6 a.m. on NASA TV, the NASA app, and the agency’s website. The public can also watch live on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, and Daily Motion. NASA also will offer a launch broadcast in Spanish beginning at 6:30 a.m. on the agency’s Spanish-language social media accounts and online. NASA will hold a prelaunch briefing at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 21, and a postlaunch news conference approximately 30 minutes after the live launch broadcast ends on Saturday, Dec. 25.

    The Webb mission, an international partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) and Canadian Space Agency, will explore every phase of cosmic history – from within the solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, and everything in between. Webb will reveal new and unexpected discoveries and help humanity understand the origins of the universe and our place in it.

    Full mission coverage is as follows. All times are Eastern, and information is subject to change.

    On Saturday, Dec. 25, approximately 30 minutes after Webb’s launch broadcast ends, a joint news conference will take place in Kourou. The news conference will stream on NASA TV, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.

    To participate by telephone in either briefing, media must RSVP no later than two hours before the start of the briefing, to Laura Betz at: laura.e.betz@nasa.gov. Media and members of the public may also ask questions on social media using #UnfoldtheUniverse.

    NASA’s media accreditation policy for virtual and onsite activities is available online.

    NASA TV live coverage will begin at 6 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 25. For NASA TV downlink information, schedules, and links to streaming video, visit:

    On launch day, a “clean feed” of the launch without commentary will be available by satellite feed. The uplink will begin at 7 a.m. and continue for an hour after launch. The clean feed will also be available on the Washington AVOC.

    Launch coverage audio will be available via this satellite feed as well, with audio channels for English-, French-, and Spanish-language launch commentary, as well as "mission audio" without commentary.

    Please contact alise.m.fisher@nasa.gov to receive the satellite coordinates.

    Some of the products I sell are on that telescope. Pretty cool to see the thing finally get launched. Had a lot of delays.

    Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!
