Pictured here is the OSIM (Optical Telescope Element Simulator) - also called the optical bench. This will not fly in space but will serve to aid precise measurements on the ground, needed for precision integration of the instruments.

A new NASA Goddard Space Flight Center banner was recently added to our giant cleanroom. Before this, there was no identification in the cleanroom. Now when the cleanroom is filmed, or used as a background, viewers will be able to know the location they are seeing.
