I don't know that each space telescope is explicitly designated as the successor
to an earlier one, but ...
-- The 'Kepler' was launched recently with the primary mission of searching for
extra-solar planets, and has already delivered evidence of hundreds of them.
-- The 'James Webb' is in the final stages of assembly and test before launch.
The James Webb Space Telescope was developed after the Hubble Space Telescope. It is designed to be the successor to Hubble and will study the universe in infrared wavelengths to help answer fundamental questions about the origins of the cosmos.
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope is expected to be retired in the mid-2020s. It has been in operation since 1990, and the James Webb Space Telescope will be its successor.
Hubble space telescope and international space station!
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who played a crucial role in changing our understanding of the universe by demonstrating that galaxies are moving away from each other.
The asteroid 107P was named "Hubble" after the Hubble Space Telescope. This was done to honor the contributions of the telescope to astronomy and space exploration.
The Hubble Space Telescope will be successed by the James Webb Space Telescope
The successor of the HST shall be the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

This term means the "James Webb Space Telescope" (JWST), the successor to the aging Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Fans of the latter have advocated naming this new space-borne telescope "Hubble 2.0" in line with computer program terminology.
It is the one kind of telescope use in space. The Hubble Space telescope, is the one of the most common used-technology in space. The Hubble Space telescope was named after Edwin Hubble.
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.

The Hubble telescope went into space in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle.
No, it isn't. The Hubble Space Telescope is a reflector. It has a primary mirror, and not a primary lens.
