The deployment of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s solar array will be its first, and most important. Small but efficient, the 5900mm (19.36ft) long solar array will release itself like an accordion to a straightened configuration shortly after launch. Its purpose is to convert sunlight into electricity to operate the telescope’s propulsion and communication subsystems, as well as its scientific instruments. Webb is the largest, most complex, and the first folding space telescope ever attempt

Far away in the south of Israel, near Kibbutz Neot Smadar, a new observatory is taking shape. Introducing LAST - Large Array Survey Telescope, the strongest astronomical survey to date. Led by Prof. Eran Ofek and Dr. Sagi Ben-Ami, and managed by Dr. David Polishook of the Weizmann Institute of Science, LAST has been built using multiple small-sized, off-the-shelf telescopes, in order to increase the field of view and the light collecting area of the system. The observatory will enable future dis
