Scientific paper

The James Webb Space Telescope will be astronomy's next premier mission which will go beyond both the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope. JWST's near-infrared camera, NIRCam, provides a wealth of scientific capabilities in addition to being the facility's wavefront sensor. The challenges in building such a camera and the progress that has been made in near-infrared detector arrays that enable such a powerful instrument will be presented. Sample science programs such as very deep surveys and slitless grism spectroscopy of exo-planet transit will be used to illustrate the mission's capabilities in the near-infrared.
