On 27 December 2021, at 60 hours after launch, Webb's rockets fired for nine minutes and 27 seconds to make the second of three mid-course corrections for the telescope to arrive at its L 2 destination. [35] On 28 December 2021, three days after launch, mission controllers began the multi-day deployment of Webb's all-important sunshield.
The latter rocket's development continued through 2021 at SpaceX's facility in Boca Chica, Texas, with a suborbital testing campaign continuing from the previous year. Starship prototype SN15 was the first testbed of the future rocket family to survive a launch and soft touchdown on 5 May 2021.

Ariane flight VA256 was an Ariane 5 rocket flight that launched the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) into space on 25 December 2021. [3] It was 2021's final Ariane flight, its most valuable payload to date, and the 256th Ariane mission. The launch was described by NASA as "flawless" and "perfect". [4]
The launch will use the company’s Falcon 9 rocket; the first-stage booster that will be used previously launched the NROL-87, NROL-85 and SARah-1 missions, SpaceX said.
The live stream will begin around 45 minutes before launch. If everything progresses on schedule, that should mean that it will begin around 8.15am eastern time, or 1.15pm in the UK.
