Its critical sunshield has been meticulously folded and packed away. The next time it is activated will be when JWST in in space headed for a spot 1 million miles from Earth.
We are about 6 months from the scheduled October 2021 launch of JWST and mission milestones will be happening fast.
Stay tuned for updates.
