NGST OTA Optical Metrology Instrumentation and Conceptual Approaches
An Integrated Product Team (IPT) was formed to develop a detailed concept for optical test methodology for testing of the NGST individual primary, secondary and tertiary mirrors and the full telescope system on the ground. Optical testing is a significant cost driver therefore the testing has to understood in detailed fashion early. A brief summary of the preliminary metrology test plan at the mirror component and telescope system level is presented.

Astronomical camera using a high-performance indium antimonide linear array
The development and current status of InSb line arrays for astronomy are reviewed. Instrument concepts are currently being developed for an infrared instrument for NASA's Space Telescope which would use such detectors for both spectroscopy and imaging. Preliminary performance measurements are given for a simple pushbroom camera, using a 128-element line array, designed for operation on the 24-inch Cassegrain telescope at the JPL Table Mountain Observatory. The design and construction of the camera are described.
