Johnson Space Center has taken its latest space telescope out of deep freeze -- a key test of the device's resilience to the cold temperatures of space before its launch in 2019. The James Webb Space Telescope was sealed inside Chamber A at Johnson Space Center's NASA in Houston, Texas, on July 10 where scientists tested its telescope and science instrument module to ensure they functioned as expected in space-like conditions.
