High-Level Project Summary
We developed a solution by using papers and origami method to demonstrate the deployment capabilities of James Webb Telescope. We also focussed on the mirrors used in James Webb Telescope. Origami offers the potential to take a vast structure of the James Webb telescope and get it to fit within the rocket, therefore helpful in greatly magnifying what we are capable of building in space without compromising the final structure of the satellite telescope. Process flow: Research articles: studying them to know what and how satellite telescope functions in the space Choosing the right materials for making the origami practically using papers. Assembling all the parts into a final model
