Scientific paper

This paper presents an overview of the European Space Agency's future plans for infrared and submillimetre space astronomy. These plans include: a contribution to the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST); the `Far InfraRed and Submillimetre Telescope' (FIRST), a multi-user `observatory type' mission targeting the 80-670 μm wavelength range; the Planck mission, designed to image the anisotropies of the Cosmic Background Radiation Field over the whole sky, with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution; and the Infrared Space Interferometer (IRSI), a candidate for a future cornerstone mission.
