Can origami help scientists alter our understanding of the universe?

If you were wondering, the answer is yes!

The James Webb Space Telescope is a revolutionary successor to the Hubble Telescope and 100 times more powerful.

It has taken 100 million hours of people’s lives to build JWST, the largest, most complex and powerful space telescope ever built.

An international team of engineers created an origami-styled observatory that can be neatly folded inside a conventional rocket and then unfolded once in space.

In this presentation, we will get a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most daring scientific missions ever attempted!
