James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared-optimised space telescope. It is scheduled for launch in 2014. JWST will be looking for the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way galaxy. JWST will peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems. JWST's on board instruments will be designed to work primarily in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, with some capability in the visible range. Cryoconnect has worked on three major instruments that will be housed in the telescope’s Integrated Science Instrument Module, or ISIM, which is the heart of the JWST.
