The NASA will substitute to the space telescope Hubble for the Webb, a more big, bigger telescope and better. After almost 15 years of operation the Hubble suffers the waste of its batteries and damages in its gyroscopes. The authorities of the NASA refuse to send manned missions to repair it, for what will be dragged by the force of the graveness until disintegrating in their crash with the terrestrial atmosphere for the 2.012.
With a folding mirror of 6,5 meters, the Webb will pick up wave longitudes that will go from the 0,6 to the 28 micrometers and will be able to observe without distortions the birth of stars and the formation of galaxies in the eternal expansion of the Universe.
With a shield that will block the light of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon, the new telescope, of seven tons, it will be put in orbit by a rocket Ariane 5 of the European Space Agency at a permanent distance of 1,5 millions of kilometers of our planet, in what the astronomers denominate the Lagrange Point 2.
Is considered that the construction of the Webb reaches the 2.500 million dollars, although it could ascend even more if the NASA insists on using a rocket Boeing Delta 4. According to the plans of the NASA the space telescope Webb will enter in operation in the 2012, coinciding with the destruction of the Hubble.
