It is not NASA James Webb telescope. 50% of it come from ESA.

Hey remember the Chinese members here saying NASA doesn't do anything great anymore.

Its also a ESA space telescope. So why try to steal all for yourself?

Sometimes I'm in total awe of what human beings can accomplish.

 

[Turingsage]

Some scientists South Asians should be proud of.
There are 4 instruments on JWT. Kalyani was the project manager for the MIRI instrument.

KALYANI SUKHATME
Project Manager For The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI)

Kalyani Sukhatme was the project manager for the Mid-Infrared Instrument or MIRI, one of the four science instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope. She works at the NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, or JPL, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif.

The daughter of two mathematics professors, Sukhatme grew up in Mumbai, India, where her interests in engineering and physics led her to her first degree - a Bachelor of Technology in engineering physics from the Indian Institute of Technology at Mumbai in 1993. At graduation, she was awarded the Institute Silver Medal for standing first in her class. She completed her masters in physics in 1995 from the University of California, Irvine or UCI. She obtained her doctorate in physics from UCI in 1997 for a thesis in low-temperature experimental physics.

The vast majority of development and testing was completed by NASA in the US. And US taxpayers funded most of the project.

Wrong, 50% of funding comes from ESA and also the same amount of the tech and individual parts. Stop to steal others works.

It is not NASA space telescope. Its that easy.

 

[Turingsage]

Perhaps you can enumerate the 50% of tech that came from ESA which you claim has been stolen.
The Ariane launcher was the overwhelming part of ESA's contribution.
Scientists either side of the Atlantic would never demean themselves bickering over what is a petty layman's injured ego.
You will see no European SCIENTIST talk such rubbish.
We are all delighted, excited and await the unfurling. All other petty concerns are for the hoi polloi.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

I cannot imagine the pictures we'll be getting from something that is a 100x more sensitive than the already impressive Hubble.

All in infrared mode...nevertheless will reveal 50 times more information than hubble

40% of all decissions regarding research is done by Europeans. 40% of all commitees are set by Europeans.

Of the 4 main instruments, the MIRI was developed, funded and build by ESA.

This is not a NASA space telescope, its an international one. What scientists say is completly irrelevant, it was build by european tax payers and evry minute of its use is planned down by contracts according the amount of participation on the project. All decissions regarding it are made by committess where are are set with 40% members from ESA.

In other words, what european scientists say is irrelevant, before they speak, ESA committees decide if they can work at all.

Americans have the toxic habit to try hijacking shared projects. Its important to counter this from day one.

This is correct 100%. This is why China will never cooperate with them. Anything they touch will be hijacked and gaslighted. Europeans are starting to learn what Chinese learned 30 years ago.

If NASA supplied even a single screw for China's space program, people will begin to doubt who actually did what and they will use racism, fake news and bias to falsely claim China contributed little. You see it right here with them downplaying the role of Europe. This is also why they're banned from FAST while EU, Russian and Global South scientists are welcome.

A visual representation of your point.

 

[Turingsage]

I hear no European scientists complaining. I hear a moron whinging about something he barely appreciate and will never comprehend.

As for MIRI

She obtained her doctorate in physics from UCI in 1997 for a thesis in low-temperature experimental physics.

Sukhatme has been at JPL full-time, starting as a postdoctoral fellow in 1998. During graduate school at UCI she received the Regents' Fellowship. At JPL she has won five team awards from 2004 to 2009, one individual outstanding accomplishment award in 2005, and one NASA group achievement award in 2006. She is the recipient of the European Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope award for significant achievement in 2012.

Sukhatme's research focuses around low-temperature transport properties on surfaces and Josephson junction behavior in superfluid Helium. She has contributed to the technology development of infrared detectors and their operation for spaceflight missions.

At JPL, she served as the test lead for the SPIRE instrument on the Herschel/Planck mission, which launched in May 2009. She led the MIRI Focal Plane Module or FPM development, delivering the flight and spare units in September 2009. After a brief interlude as the thermal lead on the ChemCam an instrument for the Mars Science Laboratory or MSL, she took over as MIRI project manager at JPL in April 2010.

Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope developed by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

 

[PakShaheen79]

I think we are good 6 months away from the first pics from it. Deploying that massive lens and collaborating alignment of each element of that lens will be the most complex remote-controlled operations in known human history.

the European equivalent of JWST only lasted 3 years and discovered NOTHING. Any reason we should be expecting unparalleled “greatness” from its successor?

You forget to mention that it operated one year longer than intended.

And it discovered alot

Herschel was instrumental in the discovery of an unknown and unexpected step in the star forming process. The initial confirmation and later verification via help from ground-based telescopes of a vast hole of empty space, previously believed to be a dark nebula, in the area of NGC 1999 shed new light in the way newly forming star regions discard the material which surround them.[39]

In July 2010 a special issue of Astronomy and Astrophysics was published with 152 papers on initial results from the observatory.[40]

A second special issue of Astronomy and Astrophysics was published in October 2010 concerning the sole HIFI instrument, due its technical failure which took it down over 6 months between August 2009 and February 2010.[41]

It was reported on 1 August 2011, that molecular oxygen had been definitively confirmed in space with the Herschel Space Telescope, the second time scientists have found the molecule in space. It had been previously reported by the Odin team.[42][43]

An October 2011 report published in Nature states that Herschel's measurements of deuterium levels in the comet Hartley 2 suggests that much of Earth's water could have initially come from cometary impacts.[44] On 20 October 2011, it was reported that oceans-worth of cold water vapor had been discovered in the accretion disc of a young star. Unlike warm water vapor, previously detected near forming stars, cold water vapor would be capable of forming comets which then could bring water to inner planets, as is theorized for the origin of water on Earth.[45]

On 18 April 2013, the Herschel team announced in another Nature paper that it had located an exceptional starburst galaxy which produced over 2,000 solar masses of stars a year. The galaxy, termed HFLS3, is located at z = 6.34, originating only 880 million years after the Big Bang.[46]

Just days before the end of its mission, ESA announced that Herschel's observations had led to the conclusion that water on Jupiter had been delivered as a result of the collision of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 in 1994.[47]

On 22 January 2014, ESA scientists using Herschel data reported the detection, for the first definitive time, of water vapor on the dwarf planet, Ceres, largest object in the asteroid belt.[48][49] The finding is unexpected because comets, not asteroids, are typically considered to "sprout jets and plumes". According to one of the scientists, "The lines are becoming more and more blurred between comets and asteroids."[49]
