Replacing the Hubble Canada space agency contribution, announced the space telescope-a high precision camera and sensor.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Hubble can be deep by peers into space, seven times larger. Webb telescope 7, m, Miller will be an entire array, key Canada cameras to produce these mirrors.
"Our cameras noticing the change in direction of the telescope some degree of 1 million: 1, corresponds to" said and John Cougar Canada-National Research Council. "The placement distance of 1000 km to other coins one side from looking 10 cents. ?
Say how results of NASA officials fine guidance sensor (FGS), can get the scientists from the new telescope will be.
And NIRISS stands for near-infrared imager Canada contributions, will include sensors called Slitless spectroscopy can see everyone in the early history of the universe to the second object distant planet's atmosphere while analyzing.
"Because the NIRISS is these very recognizable's living world and exciting times," lead Montreal University Re é Doyon said development of the two instruments.
"Orbital unlike Hubble space telescope and 400 km from the Earth and placed the Webb 1500000 km distance from our planet — 5 times is the distance to the Earth," said Doyon. "The instrument is stable at this distance, is in a very cold environment. Fact that the sunshield is protected depending on the size of a tennis court from the Sun as it. "
Webb is a joint project with the space agencies of the United States, Europe, and Canada. Launch date is scheduled for 2018.
Mission back in time this year to study stars and galaxies they then formed a few hundred million years after the big bang. Search the planet it also can support the development of living systems.
