Members of STScI will participate in the 242st Meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the Albuquerque Convention Center June 4 – 8.
STScI will participate in the 241st Meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) at the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, Washington, January 8 – 12. There will be technical presentations in instrument sessions, a wide variety of science presentations, workshops, splinter sessions, town halls, press releases, press conferences, NASA Hyperwall talks, and an exhibit booth.
The Space Telescope Science Institute has released “stenv” to supersede Astroconda for its software distribution. Support for Astroconda will end on February 1, 2023.
The Space Telescope Science Institute will have staff members participating in the 240th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, CA, June 12–16, 2022.
The commissioning of the NASA, ESA, CSA JWST continued to progress according to the mission plan.
The Short-Term Scheduling Branch of the Science Operations & Engineering division at STScI develops and maintains science observation scheduling systems for Hubble, Webb, and Roman using modern software engineering practices.
A new cross-mission flux calibration working group was established at the Space Telescope Science Institute in November 2021.
Supporting science through quality engineering practices has always been a standing achievement at STScI. This is evident through years of successful science, development, and support of Hubble, Webb, Roman, MAST, and other missions.
The Space Telescope Science Institute's Spring 2022 Science Workshop, ''Large-Volume Spectroscopic Analyses of AGN and Star-Forming Galaxies in the Era of JWST,'' was dedicated to discussing the tools that astronomers currently use to analyze large numbers of complex spectroscopic data in active galactic nuclei and star-forming galaxies.
Commissioning of the James Webb Space Telescope continues to be on track.
The launch and commissioning of the James Webb Space Telescope is a monumental achievement that has taken the skill and perseverance of devoted professionals across the globe to accomplish.
Part of this article is an abridged, updated version of a paper originally published in a Conference Proceedings, "From Giotto to Rosetta: 30 Years of Cometary Science from Space and Ground," eds. C. Barbieri and C. G. Someda.
NASA Astrophysics missions generally provide funding to the U.S. community to support exploitation of their scientific potential. Different missions use different mechanisms to award grants or contracts to individual programs.
A flawless launch on Christmas morning, followed by two successful mid-course correction burns, sent Webb toward the L2 Lagrangian point with a nominal expenditure of fuel.
