Scientific paper

The rapid advancement of telescope and detector technology enables a sequence of ambitious new airborne and space missions to observe in the mid- and far-infrared. I review the scientific forces that push us to these wavelengths, and the observatories that are planned or conceived to meet the goals. This decade and several more promise to be the ``age of the infrared,'' with marvelous discoveries yet to come. I describe the main scientific objectives and the missions conceived to meet them, beginning with the SIRTF (Space Infrared Telescope Facility) planned for launch in early 2003, to the SPECS (Submillimeter Probe of the Evolution of Cosmic Structure), which may be decades in the future.
