PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - There is still a great deal of calibration and testing required, which will mostly be done as the JWST approaches, arrives at, and commences its L2 Lagrange point orbiting... This is nothing like a simple telescope as one might imagine... Each Hexagonal mirror segment will act as a separate mirror until the calibration is completed to focus each segment in a precise overlap so that the main mirror provides the correct data imaging... That is the simple explanation, but it is much more detailed and comprehensive, technically...
