The deployment of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s solar array will be its first, and most important. Small but efficient, the 5900mm (19.36ft) long solar array will release itself like an accordion to a straightened configuration shortly after launch. Its purpose is to convert sunlight into electricity to operate the telescope’s propulsion and communication subsystems, as well as its scientific instruments. Webb is the largest, most complex, and the first folding space telescope ever attempt

NASA's Lucy mission is off to a bumpy start. Sometime after Lucy launched last week, one of its two solar arrays did not fully unfurl and latch as intended. Despite the challenge, NASA says the spacecraft is healthy and on target for Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. We're rooting for you, Lucy! What do you do if something in your life isn't going as planned? This animation shows how Lucy's solar arrays were supposed to be deployed before its journey. (Animation: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Con

We’ll never forget this final view of the Webb Space Telescope as it separated from the upper stage of its Ariane 5 launch rocket and took off into the universe in 2021. The successful deployment of its solar array marked the beginning of its mission, operating under its own power. Credit: NASA/ESA/CSA. | Space Telescope Science Institute

The largest solar arrays ever deployed by humanity in space ☀️🛰️ Aerospace company Redwire has successfully completed the first deployment test for one of its Roll-Out Solar Arrays (ROSA). ROSAs unfurl like a roll of paper towel improving their use in constrained spaces. And the latest developments have made them lighter and more affordable than ever before. They have been used on NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test), the International Space Station and NASA plans to include ROSAs on
