Goal and Function of our project

Our project “Origami of a time machine” showcases the intricacy and beauty of James Webb's engineering hardware deployment and its aesthetics through origami artwork. Our goal is to aware people of origami artwork as well as to solve the technological complexity of the James Webb space telescope which is addressed through this artwork. We have created a paper-based origami model of 1/40th scale of The James Webb Space Telescope. Our solution includes 11 major deployments of the telescope with origami artwork. We have used the paper-based origami in Solar array deployment, Antenna deployment, Sunshield pallets deployment, Tower separating instrument from the spacecraft and sun shield deployment, aft flap deployment, Mid boom extension, Tension of sun shield membranes, secondary mirror deployment, aft deployable radiators, primary mirror deployment.

Isometric view of our model:

Different deployment figures through origami artwork:

1. Origami inside rocket Fairing and Origami folding:

10. Aft Deployable Radiators:

11. Primary mirror deployment:

Benefits of the project:

To incorporate educational features, highlighting Webb’s scientific instruments and deployment capabilities we have also created some set of instructions for the youth generation so that they can create the exact same model that we created and get to know the various origami used in the different phases of the James Webb Space Telescope’s deployment. Here are the resources and instruction links:

Achievement of our Solution:

Our solution will inspire many to create such artwork where art and technology are used parallelly. Many of them will be able to know about The James Webb Space telescope’s features and intricacy. At last, it will motivate many to use artwork like origami in many technologies other than space science.

Details about the space agency data that we used:

We have used much data from space agencies like NASA, CSA, and ESA, etc. We have scaled our model based on the data given on NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Website. We have taken the data of primary mirrors hexagonal dimension from https://jwst.nasa.gov/resources/JWST_model_1-48scale_final-parts.pdf and https://stsci-opo.org/STScI-01EVSZZCYERXJ2C75W528NNZ86.png.The size of Webb's primary mirror—6.5 meters (21.6 feet).

We have taken sun shield dimensions 21.197 m x 14.162 m (69.5 ft x 46.5 ft)] and the number of sun shields as 5 and Each layer of the sun shield is incredibly thin. Layer 1 will face the sun and is only 0.05 millimeters (0.002 inches) thick, while the other four layers are 0.025 mm (0.001 inches). The thickness of the aluminum and silicon coatings is even smaller. The silicone coating is ~50 nanometers (nm) (1.9 microinches) thick, while the aluminum coating is ~100 nm (3.93 microinches ) thick these data from

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2021/nasa-s-webb-telescope-packs-its-sunshield-for-a-million-mile-trip and https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/content/observatory/sunshield.html.

JWST's 10-foot-wide bus contains the spacecraft's instruments and engines dimension taken from https://www.space.com/19441-james-webb-space-telescope-photo-tour.html.

The secondary mirror is a convex circular mirror 0.74 m in diameter. A set of 6 actuators allows control of the mirror's position and orientation, similar to the control of the primary segments taken from https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-observatory-hardware/jwst-telescope.

Primary mirror's Front and Back of Backplane structure dimensions, The secondary mirror deployment angle, and other necessary data is taken from Paul A. Lightsey, Charles B. Atkinson, Mark C. Clampin, and Lee D. Feinberg "James Webb Space Telescope: a large deployable cryogenic telescope in space," Optical Engineering 51(1), 011003 (3 February 2012).https://doi.org/10.1117/1.OE.51.1.011003

The complicated deployment involves around 7,000 parts, including 400 pulleys, eight motors, and 140 release actuators.132 actuators and motors were taken from https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-nail-biting-journey-of-nasas-james-webb-space-telescope-is-about-to-begin/.

We have also used the James Webb space telescope launch and deployment videos from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6ihVeEoUdo and JWST Deployment and beauty animations for the perception of origami used in JWST from https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10337.

We got the dimension of the solar array from https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13208.

How we used the data:

We have used the dimensions taken from these space agency sources and scaled it down to 1/40th. All the dimensions were taken in inches.

How space agency data inspired our project:

We have seen different deployment videos which incorporate origami artwork. Seeing the beautiful animations given by NASA we got inspired and gained confidence that we can complete this challenge. We got many ideas, dimensions related to JWST, a number of deployments related to origami, and many more.

Our Space Apps Experience:

Our space apps experience was totally mesmerizing. We have met with people from different backgrounds. Our team consists of people with good leadership skills, good presenters, excellent video editors, graphics designers, space experts, research experts, architects, and model designers.

Learning from the Space Apps:

We have learned how to collaborate with teammates, how to search for the different data from resources, how to critically think to solve the problem and the most important thing is to do everything within a time frame.

Inspiration for Choosing Webb origami design Challenge:

Origami is vastly used in space science to fit something large like a space telescope in a rocket. Origami is an art that removes the limitations of technology. Also, the beauty of using Origami in space science inspired my team.

My approach to developing this project:

My approach was to aware people of origami artwork as well as to solve the technological complexity of the James Webb space telescope which is addressed through this artwork. To incorporate educational features, highlighting Webb’s scientific instruments and deployment capabilities we have created a paper-based model of The James Webb Space Telescope. We have also created some set of instructions for the youth generation so that they can create the exact same model that we created and get to know the various origami used in the different phases of the James Webb Space Telescope’s deployment.

Overcoming the challenges :

My team faced many challenges during the development of the project. At first, we couldn't find any data or reliable sources to build the project. Then we took some time. We have planned the project timeline, brainstormed among ourselves, and divide the work among the group members. Finally, we could overcome all the obstacles and made this project a successful one.

My appreciation and thanks goes to all the members of team MIST MOHASHUNNO namely Sumaiya Al Sadia and Nahid Kamal Prithy for their outstanding design and architecture skills, Sabekin Awalin Seefat for brilliant video editing, Md Al Mamun for excellent research and last but not the least Uday Shanker for nice space expertise and logistics support.
