@WangnickS The sunshield has special seams to limit meteorite damage. Testing showed that micrometeoroids have negligible effects on the telescope's beryllium mirrors: https://t.co/Jx1ThKYsPL — PolitiTweet.org

@WangnickS Debris isn't an issue a million miles away where we will orbit L2, and space is big so impacts from larger objects (asteroids, meteors) won't be an issue. We do expect tiny micrometeorite impacts, and the telescope was designed and tested for this. — PolitiTweet.org
