The near infrared camera and multi-object spectrometer (NICMOS) is a new instrument for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). NICMOS provides opportunities for near infrared astrophysical investigations with HST in the 0.8 - 2.5 micrometers spectral region with 256 X 256 array detectors of HgCdTe manufactured by the Rockwell International Electro-Optical Center. This manuscript describes the characteristics and capabilities of the flight focal plane assemblies (FPAs) for all three NICMOS cameras as well as the three flight spares and three continuous evaluation FPAs. All of the FPAs exceed the original specifications by a significant amount and represent the first scientific space flight of infrared arrays for this wavelength region.
