Asking for a friend.

Yes, it can, but its sensor will burn out.

The sunshield alone had to be an engineer's nightmare! But by some combination of genius and luck, we have a fully-deployed telescope. It still needs to go through five months of alignment and calibration but I'm daring to hope now. What a spectacular instrument of science this thing is going to be if all goes well!
I am wondering about the precision and accuracy of the mirror folding mechanism and amount and precision of post unfolding adjustment available.
