What new telescope is nasa going to launch when the hubble space telescope falls back to earth?
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018. The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble. The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.
What is the name of a famous refracting telescope?
NASA's most famous telescope is probably the Hubble Telescope that orbits the earth.
What is the James Webb space telescope going to study?
It is going to replace the Hubble Space Telescope in the year 2018. It will study the edges of the universe, where the light from the creation of the Universe is still in transit to the Earth. So what JWST will do is to look at the past, billions of years ago, when the Universe was only a few hundred million years old. This would help us understand more about the evolution of the Universe.
How long does it take for the Hubble telescope to orbit the moon?
Because the Space Shuttle will have to fly at a higher altitude and different inclination that if it was going to the ISS (International Space Station), it will take a little under 3 days to get there. The Hubble Telescope operates past the reach of the Earths Atmosphere, at an orbit of approximately 360 miles above the Earth. Although it could techincally reach it sooner, there is a slight chance that the Space Shuttle may encounter some space junk, especially after the recent collision of two satellites orbitting the planet.
What type of telescope is the famous telescope that orbits the earth?
Telescopes that work with light and radio waves can work from Earth´s surface. Any other types of electromagnetic waves will hardly reach Earth's surface, so to use those (e.g., X-rays, infrared, and others), telescopes have to be taken to outer space.
Which space telescope is going to be launched after the hubble?
The James Webb telescope.
Where is the space shuttle Atlantis going?
Atlantis is going to the Hubble Space Telescope. This will be the final servicing mission and no spacecraft will travel to Hubble after this.

When is exoplanet gj 1214 b going to be studied using the hubble space telescope?
It actually has already. The Flat Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Earth GJ1214b from Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/1111.5621

What dose the Hubble telescope do?
Takes pictures of space that man cant! It also observes the movement in space and lets people know what is going on up there with out even going up there!
How long will the Hubble space telescope stay up?
The Hubble Space Telescope is still going strong and could stay up until 2018. However there are many uncertainties. A critical part could get hit by a space rock. A gyro etc. could fail. Congress could quit funding it.

Did the NASA space program really retire?
No they said they are going to come back

Why is it easier for astronauts to service the Hubble telescope than to service the James Webb telescope?
This is primarily due to the orbit as the HST who circles Earth at a mere 570 km above the surface while the JWST will have an elliptical orbit with a diameter of 800,000 km. Even in the closest point to Earth the JWST will be twice as far as the moon. You will have to prepare for a kind of "expedition to the moon" when going to repair the JWST in space.
