Trade paperback. Condizione: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xix, [1], 163, [1] pages. Illustrations (some with color). Appendices. Acronyms. References and Suggested Reading. Minor tears to top of spine. This is a product of the NGST Study Team. Designator--NP-1997(05)-016-GSFC/STSck N-9701. In gestation since 1996, it is part of NASA's Flagship program. The telescope is named after James E. Webb, the second administrator of NASA, who played an integral role in the Apollo program. NASA has described JWST as the scientific successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, but not a replacement, because the capabilities are not identical. JWST will have the ability to see high-redshift objects, typically both older and farther away than previous instruments could assess. The result was to extend the life of Hubble until JWST, as the next generation telescope, could go online. This led to a radically altered design for JWST. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope developed in coordination among NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency. It is scheduled to be launched in 2019 and will be located near the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrangian point. The telescope will offer unprecedented resolution and sensitivity from the long-wavelength (orange to red) visible light through the mid-infrared (0.6 to 27 micrometre) range. JWST's capabilities will enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology. One particular goal involves observing some of the most distant events and objects in the universe, such as the formation of the first galaxies. These types of targets are beyond the reach of current ground and space-based instruments. Some other goals include understanding the formation of stars and planets, and direct imaging of exoplanets and novas.…

Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 163, [1] pages. Illustrations (some in color). Acronyms. References. Suggested Reading. The Design Reference Mission. Slight wear. This work appears to have been co-sponsored by the Space Telescope Science Institute and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Space Flight Center. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope and for the James Webb Space Telescope. STScI was established in 1981. Today, in addition to performing continuing science operations of HST and preparing for scientific exploration with JWST, STScI manages and operates the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST), the Data Management Center for the Kepler mission and a number of other activities benefiting from its expertise in and infrastructure for supporting the operations of space-based astronomical observatories. STScI operates its missions on behalf of NASA, the astronomy community, and the general public. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope developed in collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency that will be the scientific successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. The JWST will offer unprecedented resolution and sensitivity, and will enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology. One of its major goals is observing some of the most distant events and objects in the universe. These types of targets are beyond the reach of current ground and space-based instruments. Other goals include understanding the formation of stars and planets, and direct imaging of exoplanets and novas. In development since 1996, the telescope is named after James E. Webb, the American government official who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 and played an integral role in the Apollo program. In December 2016, NASA announced that construction of the JWST was complete and that its extensive testing phase would begin. In March 2018, NASA delayed the JWST's launch. It was further delayed on June 27, 2018 based on recommendations by an Independent Review Board. The JWST is scheduled to launch on March 30, 2021.…
