Flight Izle
Towanda Tuning
Series based in the same universe as The Walking Dead (2015), and Fear The Walking Dead (2015). A webseries in one-minute episodes. In Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462 you will follow passengers on flight 462, and how they will handle the situation when one of the passengers seems to be infected.
More DetailDuring launch and commissioning, the page constantly updated in near realtime as Webb traveled, deployed, cooled to operating temperature and as instruments were turned on, tested and verified. An icon/thumbnail representing the most recently completed deployment/commissioning step for Webb was displayed on the timeline/schedule that indicates all the major deployment/commissiong phases. Below the timeline, Webb's current state was expanded with regularly updated status information, blog posts, tracker images etc as well a links to relevant media. This same state was highilighted in the sequence of all detailed states on the Webb Deployment Explorer. WhereIsWebb (via NASA Eyes) also provides users with a 3d model of Webb showing its location in our 3d solar system where users can also compare Webb to Hubble and other spacecraft in 3d.
What you see now is the final state of Webb as it entered 'Ongoing Science Operations Mode'. The temperatures displayed show that they have reached and are maintained at a narrow band steady state. You can explore the entire annotated deployment and commissioning process on the Webb Deployment Explorer. The remainder of this page is written in the present tense matching the original documentation.
Post launch and until Webb reaches its station orbitting L2, WhereIsWebb tracks Webb's journey to L2 tracking its speed and distance from Earth and L2. Part of the way through its journey to L2 WhereIsWebb will start tracking Webb's cooldown to operational temperatures and the dramatic contrasts in temperatures from its hot side to its cool side. It will continue to track temperatures through the commissioning. WhereIsWebb also tracks Webb's current deployment/commissioning state and status of that state with updates as well as the overall schedule and sequence of major deployment and commissioning phases. One can also explore Webb's location in 3d in a 3d solar system ( and compare it to Hubble and other spacecraft in 3d). The page constantly updates as Webb travels, deploys, cools to operating temperature and moves through its commissioning phases ultimately leading to the release of its first images.
While Webb is in flight to L2, its journey is tracked numerically at the top of the page showing its progress in time, distance, speed, percentage of trip complete to L2. Below those numbers, is a timeline switchable between DAYS/DISTANCE since launch, a thumbnail of Webb's MOST RECENTLY COMPLETED deployment step marking its place in TIME or DISTANCE on its 30 day journey to L2 followed by details of the current deployment step shown with a larger image, info and links.
Once Webb has reached L2, this page will transition to tracking Webb's commissioning steps including the vital process of cooling to operating temperatures and mirror alignment, followed by instrument commissioning. At this point the top of the page will show a set of bellweather current daily temperature obsevations followed by plots of those temperatures.
The most recently completed (unless noted as "Status:Ongoing" ) deployment/commissioning step for Webb is displayed along a time/distance line that also indicates the major deployment/commisioning phases. A phase may have many steps. Note that the timing, duration and/or order of these phases and steps may change. This page shows the default/nominal timing and order. The phases mark the start and end of major groups of deployment steps. The most recently completed deployment/commissioning step is shown as an icon on the ltime/distance ine and is detailed below with a larger image and links. Deployment/commissioning phases and steps are shown on the line in a light blue overlay on screens large enough to display this info, otherwise hidden.
You can EXPLORE past and upcoming deployments on the way to L2 and through commissioning. The Deployment Explorer opens to the most recently completed (unless noted as "Status:Ongoing" ) deployment/commissioning step, all steps to the "left" (on the top thumbnail nav) are COMPLETED, all steps to the "right" (on the top thumbnail nav) are FUTURE.
The graduated horizontal line tracks the progress of Webb on its journey to L2 orbit. It can be displayed in time view or as a percentage of the total distance travelled to reach L2 orbit. The display defaults to a TIME line. The units are days. We refer to deployment events in terms of launch + elapsed-time so this view is useful for tracking deployments and time progress. Webb enters its L2 orbit at approximately 29.5days on the timeline. In "distance" view, it shows the percentage of the total distance to Webb entering its L2 orbit. Note on smaller screens the labels are progressively simplified and/or removed.Your last chosen view mode is stored in a temporary "session" (non-persistent) cookie.

The speed and distance numbers displayed track Webb's distance travelled from Earth to entry into its L2 orbit. The numbers are derived from precalculated flight dynamics data that models Webb's flight up to its entry into L2 orbit. The distance numbers displayed are the approximate distance travelled as opposed to altitude. All the speed and distance data is with respect to an Earth-centered coordinate system.
This page displays 2 "hot side" and 2 "cold side" temperatures on each side of the sunshield to illustrate the incredible engineering and effectiveness of the sunshield. A set of bellwether instrument temperature observations are included that give a good indication of the temperature trends that drive commisioning activities.
Temperatures are updated once per day daily during Webb's cool down and then weekly through the end of commissiong once they are at operational levels (see blog: Final Temperature? ). In general, temperatures change slowly so this frequency is sufficient to give a snapshot of overall trends. Temperatures are rounded to the nearest whole number and displayed in the users choice of Farenheit or Celsius along with Kelvin in parentheses.
L2 is approximately 1 million miles from Earth (932056 miles/1.5M km to be exact). But Webb never actually arrives at L2, it is travelling to enter an orbit around L2. Webb's L2 orbit is very large in size and it enters its orbit before it reaches the linear distance between Earth and L2. Webb's orbit around L2 is known as a halo orbit which, rather than a single path, is an orbit that periodically varies through a series of paths around L2.
By design, the launch vehicle and Webb's trajectory put Webb on a path to an L2 orbit with only small inputs needed to refine it. As it separates from the upper stage of the launch vehicle, Webb is climbing the gravity ridge from Earth up into a halo orbit around L2. Once Webb is in its halo orbit it will be riding up and down and over and along the shallow saddle contour at L2. Read more about L2 in this blog entry.
To get the exact orbit needed, Webb's trajectory is fine tuned by a number of "burns" along the way. You can learn more about these Mid Course Correction (MCC) burns on the Deployment Explorer page. The final burn, MCC2, inserts Webb into the desired L2 halo orbit. The MCC2 burn is now planned for L+30 days. At the end of that burn we can say Webb is "In L2 Orbit" and so has "arrived at L2".
Therefore, this page, for purposes of calculations uses a distance to L2 orbit entry number ( and timing ) that is a sufficient distance and time after the MCC2 burn to say "Webb is in L2 Orbit". Once in L2 orbit, this page will no longer track distance, but will track temperatures. The spacecraft will continue to cool to operating temperatures and numerous tests and calibrations occur to ready it for operations and its first images over the months that follow.
By default the page loads and displays distances in miles, temperatures in Fahrenheit, ie English units (also known as Imperial or USCS system units). If you wish to have the page load and display in kilometers and temperatures in Celsius, ie metric system units use the urls below to select your preferred units. We do not use persistent cookies; so these urls 'store' your units preference. Once chosen, bookmark the urls with your preferred units and use it instead of the default website link. NOTE: the page units toggle button EnglishMetric now reloads the page with these urls.

The graduated horizontal line on the display is a TIME line. The units are days. There are 30days on the timeline. Webb enters its L2 orbit at approimately 29.5days on the timeline. Note on smaller screens the labels are progressively removed. On portrait mobile screens of 300-600px wide only the units "days" is displayed.
