✅ Closer to launch! Our @NASAWebb Space Telescope has arrived in French Guiana for its scheduled Dec. 18 liftoff.

@YJiden @NASAWebb 🚀 The rocket and launch services are part of @ESA's contribution to the mission, so liftoff will be from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana! This launch site is also near the equator, which is beneficial because the spin of the Earth can help give an additional push. — PolitiTweet.org
