Replace the aging Hubble Telescope
The equipment is the James Webb Space Telescope. It was jointly developed by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). It is designed to be high-powered enough to be able to find the first galaxies that formed in the early universe and peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems; it provides improved infrared resolution and sensitivity over Hubble, and enables a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology, including observing some of the most distant events and objects in the universe, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.
