JWST's Near-Infrared Camera Installed
In March 2014, the flight Near-Infrared Camera was installed into the flight Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) for the James Webb Space Telescope. NIRCam joins the flight Fine Guidance Sensor/ Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (FGS/NIRISS) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) which are already integrated into the ISIM. The flight Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) will be installed next.
The NIRCam is JWST's primary imager and will be returning beautiful images of the universe.
