JWST is for researching high-redshift object - the most distant things we can see in the universe. It's not a planet-hunter. And it will be much further away than other satellites, so they would be more easily serviced. (Not that it's easy, I just think you picked a bad example.) |

JWST is a general purpose observatory. It will make significant advances for high-redshift objects. It will not survey large numbers of star for new planets, but it will be able to observe and characterize planets that have been identified by other missions/observatories.
