Webb’s NIRSpec Instrument

Photograph of Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) instrument in a clean room. Two people in white clean room suits with blue gloves stand close to the instrument at right.

EADS Astrium engineers are seen in this image routing a cable for an acoustic test for the Webb’s Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) instrument at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center's cleanroom in Greenbelt, Md. This successful test showed how NIRSpec's Micro Shutter Array respond to vibration levels that the telescope will experience during launch.
