James Webb Space Telescope

NASA plans to delay the launch of the next space telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, until 2013. JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, but differs from it in many ways. JWST will not be serviceable – instead, it will orbit a million miles from Earth, and its goal will be to see the first galaxies that formed in the early universe. Its instruments are designed to see primarily in infrared, perceived by humans as heat.

A million miles from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope will drift through a frigid void, peering back to the time when new stars and developing galaxies first began to illuminate the universe. Its infrared instruments will pierce clouds of interstellar dust to watch the birth of stars and the development of potential solar systems.

In the upcoming future, this web page will become the new source for information concerning the "The New Space Telescope," since in some small way it too will contribute to Seti Research.

Kepler Mission Website

NASA's first mission capable of finding Earth-size and smaller planets.

The Kepler Mission, a NASA Discovery mission, is specifically designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy to detect and characterize hundreds of Earth-size and smaller planets in or near the habitable zone. The habitable zone encompasses the distances from a star where liquid water can exist on a planet's surface.
