Ariane 5 Fairing Preparations for James JWST Space Telescope The Ariane 5 fairing for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was inspected, cleaned, and maintained to specified cleanliness requirements to ensure launch distribution of contamination was minimal. NASA, ESA, and RUAG representatives collaborated to inspect and clean the fairing at RUAG facilities and at the launch site. These efforts allowed JWST to meet contamination mission cleanliness requirements and enhance mission observation performance.
