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.

Science operations with the James Webb Space Telescope

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be a powerful space observatory whose four science instruments will deliver rich imaging and multiplexed spectroscopic datasets to the astronomical and planetary science communities. The ground segment for JWST, now being designed and built, will carry out JWST's science operations.

Overlight testing for the James Webb Space Telescope

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2013
We describe the "overlight" test that was done for JWST's Teledyne H2RG HgCdTe near-infrared detector arrays. We projected many very bright λ = 632.8 nm spots onto one flight representative, substrate-removed, HgCdTe 5 μm cutoff detector array. We allowed individual spots to "burn in" for as long as ≈1000 s before turning off the laser.

Optical performance for the James Webb Space Telescope

SPIE Proceedings, 2004
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large space based astronomical telescope that will operate at cryogenic temperatures, and utilizes a segmented primary mirror with active control. To achieve the science goals for JWST, the image quality over a wide spectral range is necessary.

James Webb Space Telescope Use of XML

2nd IEEE International Conference on Space Mission Challenges for Information Technology (SMC-IT'06), 2006
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been defining, developing, and exercising the use of a common extensible markup language (XML) since 2002 for the central Project Reference Database (PRD) that would not only include the basic command and telemetry database structures, but also table definitions, pages, scripts, and other items needed for the real ...

The scientific capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope

SPIE Proceedings, 2008
The scientific capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope fall into four themes. The End of the Dark Ages: First Light and Reionization theme seeks to identify the first luminous sources to form and to determine the ionization history of the universe.
