Any small particulates or molecular films could drastically reduce Webb's sensitivity. 🔭 engineering
"This ensures that Webb's mirrors and sun shield are not contaminated with small particulates or molecular films, which could reduce the observatory's sensitivity," says Kimble in the NASA blog.
To ensure the highest levels of cleanliness, all space agencies involved in developing the James Webb Space Telescope collaborated to create a system capable of pulling it off."NASA, ESA , Arianespace, and French space agency teams have cooperated very closely to custom-clean the launch facilities to Webb's demanding requirements," Kimble explains.
Two contamination engineers associated with Goddard, Alan Abeel and Eve Woolridge, saw significant success implementing contamination control for seven weeks straight during Webb's stay in Kourou, pre-launch.
"We maintain that this is not just the largest contamination control team in the world doing this type of work; it is the best and most hard-working," say Abeel and Woolridge. Indeed, long hours and unforgiving work weeks called for the strongest morale possible. The team"cheerfully worked long days, six days a week, and has proven to be a strong morale boost for the entire launch campaign team.
