Status of the James Webb Space Telescope Integrated Science Instrument Module System

The Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is discussed from a systems perspective with emphasis on development status and advanced technology aspects. The ISIM is one of three elements that comprise the JWST space vehicle and is the science instrument payload of the JWST. The major subsystems of this flight element and their build status are described

A Sustainable Mobility Solution for Persons Living with Disability in Burkina Faso

The Sustainable Mobility project of the Collaboratory empowers people living with a disability in rural West Africa to pursue educational and work opportunities and more fully participate in family and community life. Our electric, 3-wheeled, off-road wheelchair has transformed the lives of clients through partnerships with the Center for the Advancement of the Handicapped in Mahadaga, Burkina Faso, and the Center of Hope in Fada, Burkina Faso. Now, to reach more people in new locations and with more partners, Sustainable Mobility is working to reduce manufacturing time and cost by authoring image-driven fabrication guides to enable local fabricators to build trikes. We seek to put local fabricators to work building tricycles wherever they are needed.

A Sustainable Mobility Solution for Persons Living with Disability in Burkina Faso

The Sustainable Mobility project of the Collaboratory empowers people living with a disability in rural West Africa to pursue educational and work opportunities and more fully participate in family and community life. Our electric, 3-wheeled, off-road wheelchair has transformed the lives of dozens of clients through partnerships with the Center for the Advancement of the Handicapped in Mahadaga, Burkina Faso and the Center of Hope in Fada, Burkina Faso. Now, to reach more people in new locations and with more partners, Sustainable Mobility is working to reduce manufacturing time and cost, author image-driven fabrication guides to enable local fabricators to build trikes, create instructional trike assembly videos, and develop supply chains to bring parts and materials to build sites. We seek to put local fabricators to work building tricycles wherever they are needed.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1021/thumbnail.jp

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission

Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized space telescope with an aperture of at least $4m$. With the support of their governments in the US, Europe, and Canada, 20,000 people realized that vision as the $6.5m$ James Webb Space Telescope. A generation of astronomers will celebrate their accomplishments for the life of the mission, potentially as long as 20 years, and beyond. This report and the scientific discoveries that follow are extended thank-you notes to the 20,000 team members. The telescope is working perfectly, with much better image quality than expected. In this and accompanying papers, we give a brief history, describe the observatory, outline its objectives and current observing program, and discuss the inventions and people who made it possible. We cite detailed reports on the design and the measured performance on orbit.Comment: Accepted by PASP for the special issue on The James Webb Space Telescope Overview, 29 pages, 4 figure
