  1. JWST Status Massimo Stiavelli, September 15th, 2011 Space Telescope Science Institute

  2. Agenda • TFI  NIRISS see Alex’ presentation • STScI Progress • Funding • SWG at STScI

  3. Progress at STScI • On-board Script System • Successfully completed MIRI Roadshow test. Javascript flawless! • Proposal Planning System (see slides) • Completed support for APT Guide Star use cases • Completed support for mosaics MSA dithers • Completed FOV tool • WFS&C • WEx passed internal acceptance test • Web Instrument Team • Birth of NIRISS • MIRI cryovac completed • Telescope Team • WebbPSF available

  4. Visualizing Candidate Guide Stars in APT + V3 Candidate Guide Star Sets -------------------------------- Each Green Circle is a candidate Guide Star Set. Click on them to see candidate guide stars

  5. Visualizing Candidate Guide Stars in APT Adjusting Orient + V3 Candidate Guide Star Sets -------------------------------- Each Green Circle is a candidate Guide Star Set. Click on them to see candidate guide stars

  6. Adding a 3x3 Mosaic + V3

  7. Adjusting a 3x3 Mosaic + V3

  8. Visualizing the adjusting a 3x3 Mosaic + V3

  9. Visit Scheduling System FOV Tool Request Phase for Guide Stars – Shown here ----------------------------- This phase identifies candidate guide stars. White outline is the SIAF definition. Blue outline is the usable region of guider accounting for pointing uncertainty after slew. Yellow dots are candidate guide stars. Blue dots are bad regions in the guider. Select Phase for Guide Stars- Not shown here ------------------------------- After a visit is on a short term scheduled, we know the time and V3PA angle. We then select the guide stars and reference stars for OSS. + V3 Projection of Celestial North Vector Projection of Sun Vector + V2 Target & 4-point Dither Can click on target, dithers, guide stars, etc., for more info

  10. Funding • Still not determined. US Senate CSJ subcommittee funds JWST at the funding level needed for the 2018 launch date. • Assuming this is preserved in the final vote, the final budget will need to be decided at the House-Senate conference. • Several expressions of support. Most recently 1400 European Astronomers sent a letter to the head of the OSTP, Holdren. Professional societies with membership exceeding 85,000 have also expressed support. • A lot of misinformation (or disinformation) on the web. To help solve this there will be a webinar on Wednesday 21th at 2pm. Speakers: Matt M., Rick Howard and Eric Smith (HQ), John Mather, Julianne Dalcanton and Roberto Abraham.

  11. SWG at STScI • There will be a SWG Meeting at STScI on Sept 20th and 21st. • Agenda still being prepared.
