It’s an ideal location for JWST to observe the universe without obstruction and with minimal orbital adjustments. Given the cost and time involved, says Michael Menzel , the mission systems engineer for JWST, “I would not encourage a rendezvous and servicing mission unless something went wildly wrong.”
