The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the first deployable infrared to millimeter wave space telescopes. We will describe the progress on JWST and introduce other speakers in the session. The JWST will operate at the Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2, where radiative cooling lowers the telescope and instrument temperatures to about 35 K. It will have an 18-segment beryllium primary mirror with a 25 m2 area fitting inside a 6.6m circumscribed circle, and will provide spectroscopy and imaging over the wavelength range from 0.6 to 28 microns. It is planned for launch in 2011 on an Ariane 5 rocket. The project is a partnership of NASA, ESA, and CSA, and the prime contractor is Northrop Grumman.
