Who are these masked men?Technicians from Ball Aerospace and NASA at MarshallSpace Flight Center's X-ray and Cryogenic Facility, of course, testing primary mirror segments of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).Scheduled for launch in 2014, JWSTwill be optimized for the infrared exploration of the early Universe,utilizing a primary mirror 21.3 feet across,composed of 18 hexagonal segments.Here, a group of JWST mirror segments are being preparedfor tests to assure they meet the exacting mission requirements.The technicians' suits and masks help prevent contamination ofthe mirror surfaces.At the Marshall X-ray and Cryogenic Facility, the mirrorsare tested in the large circular chamber after evacuatingthe air and cooling the chamberto -400 degrees Fahrenheit (only 60 degrees above absolute zero).The extremely low pressure and temperature simulate the JWST mirror operating environment in space.JWST mirror segment testing will continue for the next 18 months.
