Answer #2: Unfortunately, JWST's launch date has been pushed back many times (Which isn't always a bad thing!). It's current tentative deployment date is sometime in 2018.

Not yet! It's still being built! The very soonest it would launch is 2014. And after it is launched, it will take another 6 months for the telescope to be deployed, to cool down to its operating temperature, and for its systems to be checked out and adjusted.

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.


When will be the James webb telescope launched?

It is not sure yet. But NASA has predicted the date to be as between 2014 and 2015.


Who invented the james webb space telescope?

Contrary to the namesake, nobody really "invented" the James Webb Space Telescope. It began as a NASA project for simply, a successor to the aging Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope (Which is an infrared telescope). It is now a collaborative project between 17 different countries, including the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency. Originally, it was named the Next Generation Telescope, however later on, in 2002, it was renamed the James Webb Space Telescope in remembrance of the NASA administrator, James Webb, who played a crucial role in the Apollo missions. The closest person to an inventor of the JWST would be the current lead project scientist, John Mather and the staff at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. However, technically everyone who contributed to the JWST since 1996 could be considered co-inventors as the JWST is equipped with many different instruments purpose-built for the project.
