The pig is flying

I didn't catch the earliest moves, but JWST is now making its own (solar) power and is passing the MCC 1a checkpoint - for one more sizeable burn. All by itself.

You can track its journey at NASA; along with the deetz. Arin Waichulis has spreadsheetz.

Assuming MCC 1a worked tomorrow it gyres and gimbals its antenna assembly; and I still mean "it". Fortunately that's the last of the mission-crit automation. Everything after this can be done manually. Beware the bandersnatch, my beamish boys.
