James Webb Space Telescope Overview

Jonathan Gardner (NASA GSFC)

The James Webb Space Telescope continues on schedule for launch in 2018, with the first call for proposals coming in 2017. I will give an overview of the scientific capabilities of JWST. I will show recent progress and the current status of the observatory. I will show the schedule for writing and submitting proposals and show how you can keep up with current progress as we proceed to launch and scientific operations.
