Webb Telescope’s NIRISS Has Returned to Science Operations
James Webb Space Telescope
After experiencing a timeout during operations on January 15, NIRISS observations were paused to conduct a number of tests.
These established that the instrument hardware is in good health, and NIRISS was recovered on January 27. Following a successful test observation, the instrument resumed normal science observations on January 30.
Observations that were impacted by the pause in NIRISS operations will be rescheduled.
