  1. UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF SOFTWARE IN JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE | HOW TO ANALYZE ITS DATA WITH PYTHON?

  2. When James Webb Telescope, the world’s biggest, most sensitive telescope was launched on December 25th, 2021, on an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana, it was hailed as a time machine! The reason being, James Webb Telescope will show us things and entities that have never been witnessed before, via any telescope. The James Webb Telescope allows us to view the Universe at infrared wavelengths, which changes everything. Such is the impact and power of infrared wavelengths that we can now view the first stars and first Galaxies which formed after the Big Bang (13.8 billion years ago) After its launch, this massive telescope was placed at the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point (around 1 million miles away from Earth’s atmosphere), and on July 11, 2022, the first images have already been released, which astonished the scientific community.

  3. Weighing 6,161.4 kg, with a power of 2 kW, this telescope has been deployed in solar orbit near the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, which is around 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. After the launch, this telescope is now orbiting the Sun, staying just behind Earth, so that it stays within the right temperature range (50 K (−223 °C, −370 °F)) and infra-red spectrum for optimal results. James Webb Telescope has now replaced Hubble Space Telescope as the flagship space-based observatory. In this blog, we will discuss the role of software in the working of the James Webb Telescope, and find out how we can download its data, and analyze the data using Python language.

  4. THE ROLE OF SOFTWARE IN THE WORKING OF THE JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE James Webb Telescope will be operated, controlled, and maneuvered with software, just like any smartphone or laptop. But unlike simple, basic software for smartphones/laptops, the James Webb Telescope will be powered with complex software, made by IBM. In 2007, it was announced that NASA will be using the Rational Rose RealTime tool, a highly competent software developed by IBM for handling time-critical events, with reactive systems.

  5. HOW DOES WILL RATIONAL ROSE REALTIME TOOL OPERATE? Telescope will operate. IBM’s Rational Rose RealTime Tool is the foundation, based on which the entire James Webb Basically, this software will operate: Guidance Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems, Command and Data Handling (CNDH) Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) Out of these, Integrated Science Instrument Module or ISIM is the most critical component, which houses 4 major instruments which operate the James Webb Telescope, and makes it operate.

  6. PYTHON: MOST WIDELY USED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE IN ASTRONOMY Space explorations have always been about data: analyzing data and then using the insights to decode the secrets of the Universe has been the objective. Interestingly, Python language has proven to be a solid resource, when it comes to analyzing the massive data generated by the James Webb Telescope. Traditionally, Python has been the most widely used programming language for analyzing and understanding space exploration data, for decades. And with James Webb Telescope, this is no different.

  7. How To Download Data From James Webb Telescope & Analyze Using Python? Anyone can become a ‘Citizen Scientist’, and analyze the data which James Webb Telescope sends back to Earth, and then explore the Universe from their own angle. Some basic skills which are required to understand, and analyze the data coming in from James Webb and other telescopes are: Python 3 SQL Visualization of data using Python Deep Learning Models Machine Learning Big Data and Data Analytics

  8. If you have any project (including space exploration and deep space) which needs expert Python programmers, who can visualize the data and derive insights and intelligence, then we can help you right away.
