NIRCam Set for NASA Tests
GREENBELT, Md., June 1, 2010 — A test unit for the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument that will fly aboard the James Webb Space Telescope has arrived at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and has been placed in a clean room for a year’s worth of testing. The NIRCam will be the primary imager on the Webb telescope and will measure light in the spectrum in the wavelength range of 0.6 to 5 μm. The unit that arrived at Goddard is actually an engineering test unit, and not the actual NIRCam that will be pa...
