The challenges posed by future far-IR and sub-mm space missions: an overview
2008
The response to the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 Call for Proposals has confirmed a strong interest in the scientific
community for far-IR and sub-mm space science missions. Such missions would build on the heritage of projects such as
ISO, Akari, Planck, Herschel and Spitzer, with even more demanding requirements and ambitious science goals. The
paper, based on the results obtained during two ESA Technology Reference Studies, analyses the requirements of
mission studies such as the Far IR Interferometer and the Cosmic Microwave Polarisation Mapper, identifying the main
technical challenges and critical technology developments required in order to achieve an adequate level of technology
readiness in the future.
