詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜任务：光学望远镜元件的设计、开发和性能
摘要：詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜 (JWST) 是一架新近开始其科学计划的大型红外空间望远镜，将在天体物理学和行星科学方面取得突破。值得注意的是，JWST将首次观测到宇宙中最早的明亮物体，并开启了一个新的外行星大气特性的时代。这种变革性科学是通过一架具有6.6米的望远镜并经过5层主动被动冷却的太阳罩来实现的。主镜由18个可控的、低面密度的六边形段组成，通过创新的基于图像的波前感知和控制算法，在轨道上相对于彼此进行对准和相位调整。这个革命性的望远镜花费超过二十年时间进行开发，并由各个工程学科的广泛分布的团队完成。我们概述了望远镜的要求、架构、开发、卓越的轨道性能以及得到的经验教训。JWST成功地演示了分段孔径空间望远镜的能力，并为建造更大的空间望远镜开辟了道路。
