Airbus Crisa has been involved in providing key electronics and software for the Near-InfraRed multi-object SPECtrograph (NIRSpec), one of the instruments delivered by ESA for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) developed by NASA as the heir to Hubble. These elements form an essential part of the telescope control performed with the JWST mainframe, so throughout the programme we worked side by side with the NASA and ESA teams, in a very fluid collaboration.
