James Webb Space Telescope

The Primary Mirror

Once in space, getting these mirrors to focus correctly on faraway galaxies is another challenge. Actuators, or tiny mechanical motors, provide the answer to achieving a single perfect focus. The primary mirror segments and secondary mirror are moved by six actuators that are attached to the back of each mirror piece. The primary mirror segments also have an additional actuator at its center that adjusts its curvature. The telescope's tertiary mirror remains stationary.

Lee Feinberg, Webb Optical Telescope Element Manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. explained, "Aligning the primary mirror segments as though they are a single large mirror means each mirror is aligned to 1/10,000th the thickness of a human hair. What's even more amazing is that the engineers and scientists working on the Webb telescope literally had to invent how to do this."

This is an Interesting youtube video, showing the unfolding of the James Webb telescope in space.
Due to the Space telescopes immense size the whole thing must be folded down in order to fit onto a space shuttle.

What is Design for Print

Using whats described as 'Highly desired promotional packaging material' MadeThought grabs your attention with this beautiful hand made piece for the new release of Nike airforce 1.

I haven't been able to find the process for this edition but the cover looks like a gold sprayed leather with embossed type and image, giving it a glorious look.

A favourite a friend introduced me too, this book shows various methods of printing throughout the books using a range of stocks and colours, i believe the book would have been printed Digital rather than Litho due to the limited number of prints.

Another Interesting idea for packaging and promotion, one to catch your eye immediately, it has a high class package feel to it.
