Often described as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a general astrophysics mission that will be used by the international astronomy community in a manner similar to other major space observatories: HST, Chandra, and Spitzer. The JWST is being developed by NASA in partnership with the European and Canadian Space Agencies for launch during 2013. This talk will review the science goals, overall mission architecture, and development status of the JWST.
