![The James Webb Space Telescope, set to succeed Hubble in 2018, is equipped with 18 separate, intricately engineered mirrors and carefully calibrated sensors, all of which will require testing before being sent to space. Here the mirrors emerge from deep-freeze testing at Marshall Space Flight Center. Later, once the telescope is fully assembled, it will be shaken on super-sized vibration tables, custom built by Team, to ensure it can withstand the forces of a rocket launch.
