The James Webb Space Telescope has arrived safely at Pariacabo harbour in French Guiana ESA in close collaboration with NASA will now prepare this once in a generation mission for its launch on Ariane 5 from Europe's Spaceport this December
- ESA Science Technology - Fact Sheet
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a general-purpose observatory with a large aperture telescope optimised for infrared observations and a suite of state-of-the-art astronomical instruments capable of addressing many outstanding issues in astronomy
- ESA Science Technology - Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the next great space science observatory Since 1996, NASA, ESA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) have collaborated on the definition and construction of a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)
- ESA Science Technology - Objectives
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the next great space science observatory following Hubble, designed to answer outstanding questions about the Universe and to make breakthrough discoveries in all fields of astronomy
- ESA Science Technology - Publications Archive
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be an exciting, highly capable tool, able to make important contributions to studies of stellar populations in nearby galaxies, including our own
- ESA Science Technology - The JWST instrument suite
The four instruments are housed within the JWST payload module called the Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM)
- ESA Science Technology - MIRI - the mid-infrared instrument on JWST
MIRI is the mid-infrared instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope and provides imaging, coronagraphy and integral field spectroscopy over the 5-28 micron wavelength range
- The Scientific Capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope
4 Summary As the successor to the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes, JWST will be the premier facil-ity-class space telescope in the coming decade With more than 6 times the collecting area of Hubble, and almost 50 times the collecting area of Spitzer, JWST will open a wide discovery space
