Abstract

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the scientific successor to the Hubble and Spitzer missions. Its wavelength range (1 - 28m) and sensitivity (1 nJy - 1 Jy) complement the submillimeter facilities of the coming decade, Herschel and ALMA. The JWST development is on schedule for a June 2013 launch to L2 on an Ariane 5. © 2007 International Astronomical Union.
