THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE [ Retrieved Saturday 27 February 2016 ]


WEBB: PAST AND FUTURE


The James Webb Space Telescope, to be launched later in the decade, will make history as the largest infrared observatory ever sent into orbit. Webb promises to expand the boundaries of our scientific knowledge, looking at the universe in a way that has never been achieved before.

The knowledge it gleans will be shared around the globe. Astronomers from throughout the world will be able to use Webb, winning time on the telescope by submitting proposals to a group of scientists that evaluates the best use of the telescope's hours. After a period for the astronomers to complete their work, those observations will be made available to the public and scientific community for more study, ensuring that the world gets the most from every iota of data the telescope collects.

Webb's global appeal has been part of its nature since the beginning. Fourteen countries are involved in building the Webb telescope: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, French Guiana, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. NASA is the lead partner on the project, working in conjunction with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Webb's existence will be a testimony to many dedicated workers and countless hours devoted to ensuring the success of the mission.

The Webb mission is expected to last from 5 1/2 to more than 10 years.

PROJECT HISTORY

Four years after the Hubble Space Telescope's launch, a question began to arise: What was the next step?

Hubble was a resounding success, advancing scientific knowledge of the universe as it pushed at the boundaries of our vision. It was a good time to peer over the horizon and decide astronomy's next move.

In 1996, an 18-member committee headed by astronomer Alan Dressler recommended that NASA develop a space telescope to succeed Hubble. The committee was specific about what the telescope should do. The panel envisioned an observatory that would view the heavens in infrared light — the wavelength band that enables astronomers to see through dust and gas clouds and extends humanity's vision farther out into space and time. It would have a mirror with a diameter of more than 4 meters, giving it greater sensitivity to light and the ability to see farther into space than previous telescopes. It would operate in an orbit well beyond Earth's Moon.

In the spring and summer of 1996, three teams made up of scientists and engineers from the private and public sectors met to determine whether NASA could realize the committee's vision. All three came to the conclusion that the proposed telescope, tentatively named the Next Generation Space Telescope, would work.

Buoyed by these findings, NASA agreed in 1997 to fund additional studies to further refine the technical and financial requirements for building the telescope. By 2002, it had selected the teams to build the instruments and the group of astronomers that would provide construction guidance.

Since then, the telescope has gone through many changes. Its name changed from the Next Generation Space Telescope to the James Webb Space Telescope, after the NASA administrator best known for leading the Apollo missions. The telescope's design and instruments have been altered time and again as their designers encountered, then overcame, obstacles thrown in their paths by the harsh demands of a space orbit at such a vast distance.

Construction began in 2004. In 2005, Webb's launch was set for the European Space Agency's launch site in French Guiana, with the telescope carried into orbit aboard an Ariane 5 rocket. Manufacturing continued on Webb's major components and in 2009, the ISIM module that houses all of Webb's science instruments was completed. By 2011, all 18 mirror segments were finished and proven through testing to meet their specifications. Webb's individual pieces, constructed in a variety of locations, began to arrive at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Between 2012 and 2013, all four of Webb's science instruments arrived at Goddard.

In 2013, the sunshield layers were assembled. In 2013 and 2014, Webb's science instruments were all subjected to numerous tests of extreme temperature and vibration. These tests will continue in 2015, and all 18 of Webb's individual mirrors will be installed on the telescope's "backplane" structure to assemble the 21-foot mirror.

In 2016, the mirrors and science instruments will be connected together and tested, and then shipped to Johnson Space Flight Center in Houston, Texas. The final tests at Johnson will follow in 2017. The top side of the telescope and bottom side will be connected in 2018. After that, Webb will be united with its launch vehicle and taken to French Guiana for liftoff in 2018.

XLII President of the United States: 1993-2001

Proclamation 6677 - Announcing the Death of Richard Milhous Nixon

April 22, 1994

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

To the People of the United States:

It is with deep sadness that I announce officially the death of Richard Milhous Nixon, the thirty-seventh President of the United States, on April 22, 1994.

A naval officer cited for meritorious service in World War II, Richard Nixon has long been a fixture in our national life. In a career of public service that spanned a quarter of a century, he helped to shape American history. Before taking office as President in 1969, he served with distinction in the United States House of Representatives, in the United States Senate, and as Vice President in the Eisenhower Administration. From his early days in the Congress, through his tenure in the White House, and throughout the two decades that have passed since he left office, he remained a fierce advocate for freedom and democracy around the world.

Leaders in statecraft and students of international affairs will long look for guidance to President Nixon's tremendous accomplishments. His struggle to bridge the gaps between the United States and the former Soviet Union—beginning in the famous "kitchen debate" with Nikita Khrushchev and culminating with the détente of the early 1970s—helped to maintain the peace during a volatile era. Our improved relationship with the Chinese people today has grown from President Nixon's bold visit to China over 20 years ago. And in the many books he wrote more recently, he presented a cogent picture of emerging global politics that will serve as a guide for policy makers for years to come.

President Nixon offered our Nation a great many positive domestic initiatives as well. His work to clean up the environment, change our Nation's welfare system, improve law enforcement, and reform health care serves as an inspiration to us today as we seek to place the "American Dream" within the grasp of all of our citizens.

In his book,In the Arena: A Memoir of Victory, Defeat and Renewal , President Nixon wrote, "I believe...that the richness of life is not measured by its length but by its breadth, its height and its depth." This is, indeed, a most fitting epitaph for his remarkable life. He suffered defeats that would have ended most political careers, yet he won stunning victories that many of the world's most popular leaders have failed to attain. On this solemn day, we recognize the significant value of his contributions to our Nation, and we pray that he left us with enough of his wisdom to guide us safely into the next century.

Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, in tribute to the memory of President Nixon and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels of the United States for a period of 30 days from the day of his death. I also direct that for the same length of time the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall make similar arrangements for the display of the flag at half-staff over their Embassies, Legations, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and stations.

I hereby order that suitable honors be rendered by units of the Armed Forces under orders of the Secretary of Defense on the day of the funeral.

I do further appoint the day of interment to be a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States. I encourage the American people to assemble on that day in their respective places of worship to pay homage to the memory of President Nixon and to seek God's continued blessing on our land. I invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in this solemn observance.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON

XLII President of the United States: 1993-2001

Remarks and an Exchange With Reporters on the Death of President Richard Nixon

April 22, 1994

The President. It is my sad duty to report to the people of the United States that Richard M. Nixon, who served as our 37th President, died this evening in New York City at 9:08 p.m., with his family at his side.

Hillary and I send our deepest condolences to the entire Nixon family. We hope that Tricia and Edward Cox, and their son, Christopher; and Julie and David Eisenhower, and their children, Jenny, Alex, and Melanie, know that the best wishes of all their fellow Americans are with them during their moment of sorrow.

It's impossible to be in this job without feeling a special bond with the people who have gone before, and I was deeply grateful to President Nixon for his wise counsel on so many occasions on many issues over the last year. His service to me and to our country during this period was like the rest of his service to the Nation for nearly a half century: He gave of himself with intelligence and devotion to duty. And his country owes him a debt of gratitude for that service.

We face today a world of increasing uncertainty and difficult challenges, but it is a world of great opportunity, in no small part because of the vision of Richard Nixon during a particularly difficult period of the cold war. He understood the threat of communism, but he also had the wisdom to know when it was time to reach out to the Soviet Union and to China. All Americans, indeed all people throughout the world, owe him what he regarded as the ultimate compliment: He was a statesman who sought to build a lasting structure of peace.

To be sure, he experienced his fair share of adversity and controversy. But his resilience and his diligent desire to give something back to this country and to the world provide a lesson for all of us about maintaining our faith in the future. In spite of everything, that faith led President Nixon to leave his mark on his times as few national figures have done in our history and led him to continue to serve right up to the end of his life. Indeed, no less than a month before his passing, he was still in touch with me about the great issues of this day.

Again I say the sorrow and the best wishes of the American people are with President Nixon's family. We thank them, and our prayers are with them.

Q. Have you spoken to the family, Mr. President?

The President. I have. I spoke with both Tricia Cox and Julie Eisenhower this evening, and we had a very good visit.

Q. Are you going to the funeral?

The President. Excuse me?

Q. Are you going to go to the funeral?

The President. I intend to go, yes.

Q. When will it be, do you know?

The President. The family has not made announcements, and I'm not sure they've made final decisions. It's my understanding that the funeral will be in California, and they'll announce something about it probably tomorrow.

Q. Will all the Presidents be going, former Presidents?

The President. I can't say that.

Q. Can you tell us something about your relationship with Mr. Nixon?

The President. Yes, well, we made contact with each other shortly after—I think shortly after the election—either that or shortly after I came in here. And then, as you will remember, I had him up to the White House for a visit.

We talked frequently on the phone. I sought his advice about a number of issues in foreign policy, and we talked quite a lot about Russia. We had a good, long visit right before he went to Russia, and as I said, just a month ago today, I think, he penned his last letter to me of his thoughts on that trip and his advice.

So our relationship continued to be warm and constructive throughout the period of my Presidency, and he went out of his way to give me his best advice. And I was incredibly impressed with the energy and the vigor and, frankly, the rigor that he brought to analyzing this issue.

Thank you very much.

NOTE: The President spoke at 11:03 p.m. in the Rose Garden at the White House.

Richard M. Nixon Will You Please Go Now!

By Art Buchwald

Tuesday, July 30, 1974; Page B01

My good friend Dr. Seuss wrote a book a few years ago titled "Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!" He sent me a copy the other day and crossed out "Marvin K. Mooney" and replaced it with "Richard M. Nixon." It sounded like fun so I asked him if I could reprint it. Please read it aloud.

"Richard M. Nixon will you please go now!
The time has come.
The time has come.
The time is now.
Just go.
Go.
Go!
I don't care how.
You can go by foot.
You can go by cow.
Richard M. Nixon will you please go now!
You can go on skates.
You can go on skis.
You can go in a hat.
But
Please go.
Please!
I don't care.
You can go
By bike.
You can go
On a Zike-Bike
If you like.
If you like
You can go
In an old blue shoe.
Just go, go, GO!
Please do, do, do, DO!
Richard M. Nixon
I don't care how.
Richard M. Nixon
Will you please
GO NOW!
You can go on stilts.
You can go by fish.
You can go in a Crunk-Car
If you wish.
If you wish
You may go
By lion's tale.
Or stamp yourself
And go by mail.
Richard M. Nixon
Don't you know
The time has come
To go, go, GO!
Get on your way!
Please Richard M.!
You might like going in a Zumble-Zay.
You can go by balloon . . .
Or broomstick.
Or
You can go by camel
In a bureau drawer.
You can go by bumble-boat
. . . or jet.
I don't care how you go.
Just get!

August 18, 1979

Q. Learned anything today? [Laughter] Seriously.—

THE PRESIDENT. Well, if I have a chance with the folks on the ship—[inaudible]. Well, I've learned that at the first stop with us in Wabasha, and I think it's obvious they are genuinely interested in saving energy and in proving that our country can be unified and that there is a good harmony among those who have different backgrounds and different interests. I think the turnout here shows a great deal of interest obviously in the office of the Presidency, and I consider it to be a nonpartisan sort of expression of support for the President himself and for this Nation's strength.

Q. Did it seem to you that people were a little bit more upbeat than you might have expected?

THE PRESIDENT. Yeah, they really are. It's been surprising. I thought in St. Paul last night the genuine excitement that they showed in that city in putting together a very far-reaching kind of a complicated approach to the energy question was also inspiring to me. And I think the general tone of the response and the attitude of people toward one another, toward our country is one of great patriotism and strength. I've been very pleased.

Q. Are you getting any rest?

THE PRESIDENT. Enough. This has just been really exciting to me.

Q. One final question. We're standing on the wet bank of the Mississippi here.

THE PRESIDENT. I noticed that. [Laughter]

Q. A question someone in the crowd asked, but I didn't hear you answer it. Wouldn't it be fair to call this campaigning?

THE PRESIDENT. Well, I—you know, I want the people to be reminded of the Nation's energy problems and the fact that we can solve those problems. And so, it's a vacation for us. We're enjoying every minute of it, and I think for me to give that message as we go along is very important. So, we're campaigning for a good energy program, but not on a partisan basis. I think the people that come here—I don't know whether they're Democrats or Republicans—they come because I'm President. It's not a partisan campaign for Democrats or for me. It's a campaign for a stronger country and a comprehensive energy policy.

Q. What do you think of this boat?

THE PRESIDENT. I like it. Don't you?

Q. The boat's leaving.

THE PRESIDENT. I can't believe it. The boat's going to leave me. The boat's leaving. I've got to get on board.
