The Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) houses the four instruments of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The ISIM, fitted with all four instruments, is lowered by crane into the thermal vacuum chamber at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, where it will spend 116 days in a space-like environment for testing.
