I was doing some searching on the NASA site for some info and just happen to come accross a new scope for NASA due to go up in 2007. It sounds like an interesting concept to map out what this one is going to. There is another one also going up around the same time.
Here is the info on the Herschel Telescope- herschel.jpl.nasa.gov/index.shtml
and here is the info on the other scope going up in 2007 as well.

The Herschel Space Observatory is a space-based telescope that will study the Universe by the light of the far-infrared and submillimeter portions of the spectrum. It is expected to reveal new information about the earliest, most distant stars and galaxies, as well as those closer to home in space and time. It will also take a unique look at our own solar system.
