NIRSpec Removal
The James Webb Space Telescope's Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) was recently removed from the Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) structure yesterday and put onto its stand in preparation for a hardware exchange (including the microshutters) that will take place later this month and into January 2015.
This image shows the removal process.
