Significance Of Gimbaled Antenna

Recently launched on Dec. 26, the gimbaled antenna will be able to perform the transmission of approximately 28.6 Gbytes of Science data, significantly twice a day.

This entire phenomenon took around one hour to settle. The Antenna Assembly has been successfully released and activated now.

Hoping for Spiffing Exploration 

This moment possess a huge importance, as James Webb Space Telescope, world’s highly expected space telescope’s temperature sensors and strain gauges, along with the Gimbaled Antenna Assembly, were now activated for the very first time.

This temperature and strain data would typically allow the engineers to regulate the James Webb’s thermal and structural systems efficiently.
