Under the leadership of NASA and developed with ESA, entering its orbit in 2022 and has been active for three years and has been active in this short period of time and has signed incredible discoveries. James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Possible BUDGET DATAKS face. JWST is said to exceed the expectations of astronomers, while deductions may have an effect in autumn.

JWST’nin five -year official primary term, while the telescope performs better than expected and the observation time request exceeds the supply of the desire to exceed. Jennifer Lotz, Director of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STSCI), said that the Telskob has not yet reached its peak scientific capacity and has been performing far beyond our expectations, while the JWST project scientist Hacarana Garcia said, “In summary, it fulfills its promise to revolutionize science.

Budget deduction is already foreseen for JWST

JWST’S Design Life 10 Years Although it is determined as, the authorities expect the telescope to serve much longer than this time. The only consumable material of the telescope is the driving fuel and this repulsive fuel is expected to last for more than 20 years. This is the astronomers of JWST That it can remain active until the 2040s And during this period, he is hoping that he could work in parallel with the Habitable Worlds Observatorry, another large telescope that could be launched in the early 2040s.

While the demands of the astronomers from JWST reached record levels, NASA reported that the fund allocated to JWST for the 2025 fiscal year was reported to be 187 million dollars, 127 million dollars of telescope operations and 60 million dollars for scientific grants given to astronomers using telescope. . This budget is expected to remain constant until 2029.

Tom Brown, who leads JWST at STSCI, is the operational budget of the telescope With a 20 percent deduction announced that he was facing. These deductions can be implemented at the beginning of the 2026 fiscal year, such as October. It is stated that these interruptions will have great effects on the scientific productivity of the telescope, and it can have negative consequences in many areas such as supporting astronomers, availability of some modes of telescope and solving the problems in the telescope.
