The James Webb Space Telescope Mission

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
The James Webb Space Telescope, planned to extend the scientific discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope, will be a powerful observational tool for the investigation of the first stars and galaxies. With a 6.5‐m hexagonal mirror cooled to ∼40 K, and an instrument package covering 0.6 to 28 μm with imaging, spectroscopy with R up to ∼3000, and ...

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

Optical transmission for the James Webb Space Telescope

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
The fabrication and coating of the mirrors for the James Webb Space Telescope has been completed. The spectral reflectivity of the protected gold coated beryllium mirrors has been measured. The predicted end-of-life transmission through the telescope builds from these values. The additional phenomena that have been analyzed are contamination effects

From the Hubble space Telescope to the James WEBB Space Telescope

Il Nuovo Cimento B, 2005
I summarize the characteristics of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and present some of its most recent results. I also discuss the concept and the plans for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). JWST will be tlie successor to the Hubble Space Telescope and may be launched as early as mid-2011.
