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.
What else can I help you with?
Which space telescope is going to be launched after the hubble?
The James Webb telescope.
How did space exploration contribute to the James Webb Space Telescope?
Space exploration paved the way for the development of the James Webb Space Telescope by providing valuable experience in building and operating space-based observatories. Technologies and techniques developed for previous missions, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, have been applied to the design and construction of the James Webb Space Telescope. Additionally, insights gained from exploring our solar system and beyond have informed the science goals and objectives of the James Webb Space Telescope.
What is the proposed name of Hubble's successor?
The Hubble Space Telescope will be successed by the James Webb Space Telescope
What is the successor of Hubble space telescope is?
The successor of the HST shall be the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
What is the device that takes pictures in space?
A device that takes pictures in space is called a space telescope. These telescopes are equipped with advanced imaging technologies and are placed in orbit around Earth or other celestial bodies to capture images of astronomical objects in space. Some well-known examples include the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.
Is the James Webb Space Telescope in space?
No. It's scheduled for launch in 2018.
When does the James webb telescope come out?
At this time (early 2014), the James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to launch during October of 2018 .
What telescope is replacing the Hubble telescope?
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is set to replace the Hubble Space Telescope and is scheduled to launch in 2021. The JWST will be the most powerful space telescope ever built and will study the universe in infrared wavelengths to observe objects that are difficult to see with other telescopes.
