The James Webb Space Telescope's mirrors and instruments,
Music
kept clean inside a four story tall tent,
Music
are moved into the Acoustic Test Chamber at ...
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt MD.
Music
Engineers blast the telescope with acoustic energy, which ...
results in vibrations similar to what it will ...
experince during launch.
Music
The telescope is tested to frequencies as low as 20 Hertz
and as high as 2800 Hertz ...
and sound pressures as high as 142 decibels.
Music
This is louder than the decibel level ...
of a jet engine at takeoff.
Music
Instant hearing damage would occur at this level without ...
hearing protection. Eardrum rupture occurs at 150 decibels.
Engineers use this test to ensure the Ariane 5 rocket's ...
sound will not damage Webb's structure ...
or systems during launch.
