Commissioning the James Webb Space Telescope Observatory

Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2020: Optical, Infrared, and Millimeter Wave, 2020
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is going through final integration and testing and is planned to launch in 2021. The last remaining optical challenge for JWST is to fully align the observatory in flight to meet the optical requirements but this effort involves many system considerations to do this safely and efficiently and the entire effort ...

Space telescopes after the James Webb Space Telescope

SPIE Proceedings, 2004
Following the use of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), there will be a need for space telescopes or interferometers of increasing size and, later, of increasing aperture. Looking ahead to the known problems of the next decade allows a modest extrapolation from JWST to address the currently interesting science.

Integrated telescope model for the James Webb Space Telescope

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
Integrated modeling is a valuable tool for analyzing complex optical-mechanical systems such as the James Webb Space Telescope. An implementation, the Integrated Telescope Model (ITM), has been developed for JWST to analyze the performance of the Observatory.

HST and the James Webb Space Telescope

2015
The HST is one of the most successful and productive scientific instruments ever built. It has provided images and scientific data that has advanced mankind’s knowledge of the universe, and not since the lunar missions of Apollo has the public consciousness been so stimulated. With Service Mission 4, completed in 2009, the HST received a life extension

James Webb Space Telescope: lancio posticipato

2018
Senza preavviso, la Nasa rinvia di nuovo il lancio del più grande telescopio spaziale della storia dell’umanità, il James Webb Space Telescope (Jwst) a non prima del maggio 2020. Quale l’impatto sulla comunità scientifica e le ragioni del rinvio per un progetto “too big to fail” ce lo spiega Adriano Fontana (Inaf)
