Ready for some high-speed Webb surfing? 🌊
This week, our team turned on Webb's high-gain antenna, which helps enable a much higher data rate than the radio band Webb had been using until now, and will eventually allow Webb to send back all its images & data. #UnfoldTheUniverse

🌟 Star light, star bright…the first star Webb will see is HD 84406, a Sun-like star about 260 light years away. While it will be too bright for Webb to study once the telescope is in focus, it’s a perfect target for Webb to gather engineering data & start mirror alignment.
Look back on our successful first month after launch by reading our latest blog post, with a contribution by #NASAWebb project manager Bill Ochs: go.nasa.gov/3KVxqvh
