NASA has completed calibration work on the Spitzer Space Telescope for its new “warm” observing mission. Launched in 2003, Spitzer was designed as a cryogenically-cooled infrared observatory capable of studying objects ranging to the distant reaches of the universe. Spitzer’s nominal mission life was originally expected to be around 2.5 years, but careful use of the onboard liquid helium coolant allowed it to be extended until earlier this year.
