 |  No damage to JWST after vibration test anomaly
 27 December 2016
ASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows no signs of damage after an “anomaly” during a
vibration test earlier in the month, the agency announced Dec. 23. In a statement posted
on the JWST website, NASA said that engineers were making progress tracking down the
root cause of the Dec. 3 incident that halted vibration testing of the telescope’s mirror
assembly and instruments, known as the Optical Telescope element and Integrated Science
(OTIS).
