The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018.

The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble.

The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that

it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.

Can you use the hubble telescope?

Anyone can request observation time on HST - in the past, the Hubble Director has opened up his own time for use by amateur astronomers. Competition for time is fierce though, and is generally given to academics and scientists, though "targets of viewing opportunity" are considered if it falls within mission parameters. Anyone can download the thousands of photos taken by the Hubble, at hubblesite.org.
