In late May, Webb sustained a dust-sized micrometeroid impact to a primary mirror segment. Not to worry: Webb is still performing at a level that exceeds all mission requirements. Our first images will #UnfoldTheUniverse on July 12: https://t.co/9jp0uq7ytS https://t.co/VKkSp16yrg

UPDATE: We are now targeting no earlier than June 28 for the launch of @SpaceX's cargo Dragon spacecraft flight to the @Space_Station. More information on the scientific investigations riding to the space station: https://t.co/raVAUZT2wX https://t.co/gwFBQ7TtGf
