Details

Scientific paper

NIRCam will be both a science instrument and the wavefront sensor (WFS) for JWST. The instrument design is now complete, and the engineering test unit (ETU) is being built. The ETU will play a key role in testing JWST's primary mirror, the WFS and control hardware, and the mirror alignment algorithms. Many hardware elements of the ETU are starting testing and characterization including detector arrays.
