JWST, James Webb Space Telescope
Previous projects:
COBE, Cosmic Background Explorer
WISE, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer
MPF, Microlensing Planet Finder (did not fly, but science incorporated in WFIRST)
SAFIR, Single Aperture Far InfraRed telescope (did not fly, but may become Origins Space Telescope)
SPECS, Submillimeter Probe of the Evolution of Cosmic Structure (did not fly, an ambitious idea to follow SPECS)
Enables visible band diffraction limited imaging with ground-based telescopes by providing a laser beacon in space. Possible observations range from the Milky Way Galactic Center, to exoplanets, to active galactic nuclei, galactic structure, and stellar populations. Decadal Survey white paper link
A starshade orbiting Earth will cast a shadow of an exoplanet host star onto an extremely large telescope. Earthlike exoplanets could be imaged in minutes and their spectra measured in an hour. 2020 Decadal Survey link
