The JWST will orbit at the Lagrangian point 2 far beyond moon (on the far side of the moon). At this point it will be in a position where it can remain "fixed" relative to Earth and moon without requiring adjustment as the gravitational pull of Earth and moon provide exactly the force required to orbit a low-mass body (like the JWST) at exactly that point, which is about 1.5 million km from Earth.

the first telescope built by NASA placed into orbit was the hubble space telescope.
What is replacing Hubble?
The Hubble Space Telescope his becoming, if not already, obsolete. The twenty-year-old telescope requires a lot of maintenance and a replacement is overdue.The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST) is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope, scheduled for launch in 2014. Webb will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy. Webb will peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems, connecting the Milky Way to our own Solar System.Another space telescope has been envisioned and is anticipated to be placed in service between 2025 and 2065. The Advanced Technology Large Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST) is a NASA strategic mission concept study for the next generation of UVOIR space observatory. ATLAST will have a primary mirror diameter in the 8m to 16m range that will allow scientists to perform some of the most challenging observations to answer some of man's most compelling astrophysical questions.See Sources and related links for additional information.
