S2E10 Keeping the James Webb Space Telescope running with Elysia Starr

As it continues to beam back incredible images of the universe, it’s clear the James Webb Telescope is revolutionising our understanding of the cosmos. But there’s still so much more to see, so it’s integral it keeps on running for years to come. That’s where Elysia Starr and her team come in. Elysia is the Fault Management Lead for the JWST. In this episode she tells us what’s involved in maintaining the Webb, she tells us about some of the most innovative tech that’s gone into the creation of the telescope, and she explains what excites her most about the project.

James Joseph from the School of Science and Engineering at the University of Dundee tells us about the prototype his team has been working on for the If You Were An Engineer competition - Bianca’s sunlight machine.

Thanks to Zach and Megan from Sacred Heart Primary School in Bellshill in Scotland for sharing their engineering ideas with us.
