[b]Ariane rocket with Webb Telescope rolled out to launch pad[/b] The James Webb Space Telescope, mounted atop the Ariane 5 rocket it will ride into space, has arrived at its final location on Earth: the Arianespace ELA-3 launch complex at Europe’s Spaceport located near Kourou, French Guiana. Webb is scheduled for liftoff at 7:20 a.m. EST on Saturday (Dec. 25). With Webb and its rocket securely on the pad, the team will run electrical diagnostics to ensure all are configured for the launch. Teams will power on the observatory while at the launch pad to run one final aliveness test to ensure all systems are working before liftoff.
