Designed and realized under the leadership of Airbus Defense and Space in Ottobrunn (Germany), NIRSpec has been completed and delivered to NASA in 2013. [[BR]][[BR]]In this talk, Torsten Boeker will give an overview of NIRSpec's opto-mechanical design and the various observing modes.  In addition, he will describe the integration of NIRSpec into the instrument module ISIM since 2013 and will summarize the results of all the completed test campaigns. Finally, an outlook with respect to the remaining activities before JWST's launch in fall 2018 will be given.[[BR]][[BR]]Talk: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/2015-05-22_NIRSPEC1.pdf Slides: English Part1] [https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/2015-05-22_NIRSPEC2.pdf Part2][[BR]]Questions: German, English ||

Always, it was necessary to survey a large number of objects over a large area of the sky  to understand the universe. More than 25 million of spectra from all kinds of sky objects over the full southern Hemisphere, that's the goal of 4MOST. Actually, less than the claim of the GAIA satellite mission. [[BR]][[BR]]How does this fit? What can we learn from the spectra? And how has the instrument to look like for such a task? Wolfgang Gaessler will present the answers in this talk.[[BR]][[BR]]Talk: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/2015-05-29_4MOST.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English ||
