Will Hubble still be used after the James Webb telescope in launched?

If the Hubble is still working by the time Webb is launched then yes. The Webb is not a replacement, but a successor.

What is the name nasa's most famous telescope?
The first large space telescope was the Hubble, and it's probably still the most famous one. But a LOT of the new and exciting work being done is using the Kepler Space Telescope, a device which was specially designed to search for planets around neighboring stars.
Are there other space telescopes besides the Hubble?
There are quite a few telescopes in space right now like the Hubble space telescope, Chandra X-Ray observatory, Spitzer space telescope, FERMI space telescope, the Herchel observatory, WISE telescope and the James Webb space telescope will soon be launched in 2014.
How might the Hubble Space Telescope change today's model of the solar system?
Because we still use telescopes today, and it helped us build a more & new advanced telescope today
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.
Who stated that the universe is still expanding?
Hubble did not conclude that the Universe is expanding. Hubble thought the red shift indicated a unrecognized principle of nature. Hubble's constant actually shows the universe is bounded at R=150kMpc/31 and H= c/R = 62km/s/Mpc. The increase red shift velocity indicates a decreasing universe.
Which one of NASA's Great Observatories was the first to be launched and is still gathering information on Earth and its location in the galaxy?
hubble telescope
How many tons does the hubble space telescope weght?
The Hubble Space Telescope has a mass of 11,110 kilograms, or 11.11 metric tons. Before it was launched, it weighed 108,956 newtons (24,493 pounds). It has had no weight since April 1990, and at the present time, it still weighs nothing.
What year was the hubble telescope invented?
The Hubble Telescope was sent into space in 1990. It was designed and built for several years before that. As of 2014, it is still in operation.
What year was the Hubble Space Telescope put into orbit?
The Hubble Space Telescope was put into the orbit in 1990 and is still there up until today. It already had to be repaired five times and is expected to stay in the orbit until at least 2013.

Why is the Hubble telescope at that height?
Because it shall orbit above the atmosphere but still be at an altitude where it can be reached for repairs by astronauts.
Was the Hubble telescope discontinued?
Not yet. The Hubble Space Telescope is still in space, still operational. In fact, it received a substantial upgrade just last spring, with new gyroscopes, new sensors and a new communications array. But the main telescope cannot be upgraded without being entirely rebuilt, which cannot be done in space. The original plan was that the Hubble Space Telescope would be captured in orbit by the Space Shuttle, returned to Earth, and rebuilt. Later, it would be re-launched. But because the Space Shuttle fleet itself is scheduled to be retired in the next few years, this plan has been abandoned. The HST is tentatively scheduled to be de-orbited and crashed into the ocean in about 7 more years. With luck, there will be an even more powerful space telescope to replace it, but this is not yet firmly scheduled.
Do people like the Hubble telescope?
Well I certainly do! The pictures and information we have obtained with it still seem little short of miraculous.
