Abstract

NASA is developing the NICMOS Cooling System (NCS) for deployment during Servicing Mission 3 of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in late 1999. The NCS is intended to provide mechanical cryocooling for the near IR camera and multi- object spectrometer (NICMOS) instrument that was installed during servicing mission 2 in February 1997. The NICMOS with NCS can potentially continue the near-IR capability of HST through the currently scheduled end-of-mission in 2010. The NCS hardware is currently in final integration and will soon start a series of rigorous ground and flight test that will prepare it for installation in the HST.
