Description: After a 5,800-mile move, the James Webb Space Telescope has unpacked and settled into its temporary home... The James Webb Space Telescope has safely made it inside the cleanroom at its launch site at Guiana Space Center, in French Guiana! After its arrival, Webb was carefully lifted from its packing container and then raised vertical. This is the same configuration Webb will be in when it is inside its launch vehicle, the Ariane 5 rocket.
