... that some of the optics for the James Webb Space Telescope were made at the NETPark science park in northern England? Source: [1] "The CfAI, based at NETPark, in Sedgefield, is also part of a second project to benefit from the investment, which aims to improve communication speeds in tiny nano-satellites called cubeSats." ... "The CfAI will be responsible for the optomechanical design of the system and the project will benefit from its in-house space optics manufacturing facility at NETPark. The CfAI’s Precision Optics Laboratory, is equipped with state-of-the-art ultra-precision diamond machine, which can produce freeform optical surfaces within sub-micron accuracy." ... "Separately, the CfAI is involved in some of the world’s biggest and most prestigious telescope projects. It has made some of the optics for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Near Infrared Spectrograph’s (NIRSpec) Integral Field Unit instrument and Durham’s scientists have been involved in the new telescope’s scientific development."

New enough and long enough. Nominator is confirmed QPQ-exempt. Hook fact checks out and is in article. Earwig is only catching some of the various organization names in the page. No issues here. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:11, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
