Infrared and Submillimeter Space Missions in the Coming Decade Programmes, Programmatics, and Technology

A revolution similar to that brought by CCDs to visible astronomy is still ahead in IR and submillimeter astronomy. There is certainly no wavelength range which has, over the past several years, seen such impressive advances in technology: large-scale detector arrays, new designs for cooling in spac...
