What was the Hubble telescope once called?
Before being named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, HST was known during development as the Large Orbiting Telescope, or Large Space Telescope. This is not uncommon for NASA; the current successor to HST, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), was originally named NGST - Next Generation Space Telescope, a nod to Star Trek.

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.
