  The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is optimized for observations in the
near and mid infrared and will provide essential observations for targets that
cannot be conducted from the ground or other missions during its lifetime. The
state of the art science instruments, along with the telescopes moving target
tracking, will enable the infrared study, with unprecedented detail, for nearly
every object, Mars and beyond, in the solar system. The goals of this special
issue are to stimulate discussion and encourage participation in JWST planning
among members of the planetary science community. Key science goals for various
targets, observing for JWST, and highlights for the complementary nature with
other missions and observatories are described in this paper.
