On Saturday, December 11, 2021, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was secured on top of the Ariane 5 rocket that will launch it to space from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. Upon arrival in the final assembly building, Webb was slowly hoisted nearly 130 feet and then perfectly aligned on top of the Ariane 5, after which technicians bolted Webb's launch vehicle adapter down to the rocket. As of December 15, 2021, the JWST team was working on a communication issue between the observatory and the launch vehicle system, delaying the launch date to no earlier than Friday, December 24.
