Webb telescope nearly set to explore the solarsystem NASAGoddard
Webb needs to be able to lock on to these objects and track them with sufficient precision to obtain images and spectra. The Webb team recently completed the first test to track a moving object. The test verified that Webb could conduct moving target science. As we move forward through commissioning, we will test other objects moving at various speeds to verify we can study objects with Webb that move throughout the solar system.
"I am really excited about Webb's upcoming first year of science operations. I lead a team of equally excited astronomers eager to begin downloading data. Webb can detect the faint light of the earliest galaxies, but my team will be observing much closer to home. They will use Webb to unravel some of the mysteries that abound in our own solar system.like Webb to study our nearby solar system. We planetary scientists use telescopes to complement our in situ missions .
