Getting crowded at old L2. Two satellites already parked there.
Funny, thought getting those two up there would have been a big deal, not heard of it until Webb was on the way.
Webb will not park. It will orbit L-2. Orbiting requires less fuel expenditure and also avoids Earth and Moon shadow issues.
It seems likely that the first two satellites also orbit, but I do not know that for certain.
List Of Objects At Lagrange Points
L2
L2 is the Lagrange point located approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth in the direction opposite the Sun. Spacecraft at the Sun–Earth L2 point are in a Lissajous orbit until decommissioned, when they are sent into a heliocentric graveyard orbit.[citation needed]
Past probes
Animation of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe's trajectory from 1 July 2001 to 7 April 2009
WMAP · Earth2001 – 2010: NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)[6] observed the cosmic microwave background. It was moved to a heliocentric orbit to avoid posing a hazard to future missions.
2003 – 2004: NASA's WIND. The spacecraft then went to Earth orbit, before heading to L1.[7]
2009 – 2013:[8] The ESA Herschel Space Observatory exhausted its supply of liquid helium and was moved from the Lagrangian point in June 2013.
2009 – 2013: At the end of its mission ESA's Planck spacecraft was put into a heliocentric orbit and passivated to prevent it from endangering any future missions.
2011 – 2012: CNSA's Chang'e 2.[9][10] Chang'e 2 was then placed onto a heliocentric orbit that took it past the near-Earth asteroid 4179 Toutatis.
