NASA has announced a further delay to the James Webb Space Telescope’s launch. The agency had been targeting March-June 2019 for the much-heralded telescope’s liftoff. But continued integration delays have forced the agency to push the launch back a full year to No Earlier Than May 2020. This slip is the second such delay in the last six months and follows a February 2018 Government Accountability Office report that called the March-June 2019 launch window “optimistic.”
