Scientific paper

The far infrared and submillimeter Space Telescope (FIRST) is planned by the European Space Agency (ESA) as one of its four Horizon 2000 cornerstones. FIRST opens the virtually unexplored waveband of the electromagnetic spectrum between just below 100 microns and 1 mm for detailed astrophysical measurements and can be used for detailed spectroscopy of the cold and warm components of the universe out to cosmological distances. The scientific impact, the spacecraft, telescope, orbit, thermal control, payload and status of FIRST are discussed.
