Women making the Webb Space Telescope a reality

Written by  Sunday, 07 March 2021 09:00

On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2021, and as excitement builds for the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) in October, ESA is highlighting women that play an important role in Europe’s contribution to Webb.

Diversity is placed high on ESA’s corporate agenda and the agency aims to inspire more women to pursue space careers, at ESA and beyond; to support more women at all levels of the organisation; and to encourage girls to explore their interest in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) subjects.
