Performance
Scientific paper
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large aperture (6.5 meter), cryogenic space telescope with a suite of near and mid-infrared instruments covering the wavelength range of 0.6 μm to 28 μm. JWST’s primary science goal is to detect and characterize the first galaxies. It will also study the assembly of galaxies, star formation, and the formation of evolution of planetary systems. Recent progress in hardware development for the observatory will be presented, including a discussion of the status of JWST’s optical system and recent flight mirror deliveries, progress with sunshield development, and the optical testing plan for the observatory. We also review the expected scientific performance of the observatory based on model predictions generated for the Observatory’s successful Critical Design Review. We will also review the current integration and test schedule.
