The MIRI “first light” instrument built by Astrium in Stevenage, Hertfordshire is all ready to ship to the US.
This instrument plays a crucial role in detecting what could be the first starlight in the universe for the Jame Webb Telescope due for launch in 2018.
Congratulations to all the team for an excellent job.
