NASA faced a daunting challenge for the James Webb Space Telescope beyond unprecedented engineering. The space agency executed the mission amid the worst pandemic in modern history. If it weren't for careful plans and the ability to work from home while quarantining, the aging Hubble observatory might not have had a successor this year.

This was "arguably the most challenging deployment program ever done by NASA..."

The most powerful space telescope ever built completed a tricky two-week-long deployment phase on January 8, unfolding its final golden mirror panel, as it readies to study every phase of cosmic history. Engineering teams in the James Webb Space Telescope’s control room cheered as confirmation came back that its final wing was deployed and latched into place.
