Summary[edit]

Description

This is a front view of the actual telescope structure of the James Space Space Telescope spacecraft. This is also the flight structure, not a test article. The yellow object is a mass simulator for the telescope's science instrument model (the Integrated Science Instrument Module, or ISIM), which was installed for modal testing of the telescope structure. The stowed Deployable Tower Assembly (DTA) is black cylindar at the base of the structure. The DTA is designed to raise the telescope structure off the spacecraft bus after launch. On the front is the folded up boom that will hold the telescope's secondary mirror.
