How much cryogen does Spitzer have remaining in its dewar? Do they know, or are they just waiting to see a temperature rise after complete boil-off? Can't find much info on the website.

Veering off topic here...let's not do that please.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

On the note of JWST time, that's quite scarce, as a timely piece indicates here:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/...ear-of-science/ Only 16% of Cycle 2 proposals were accepted, so if a revived Spitzer can make any observations that JWST is too busy for, that lightens the load. No doubt, many of the proposals cannot be satisfied with warm-mode Spitzer, but certainly warm Spitzer is still a valuable resource. |
