The Herschel/Planck ESA programme combines two ESA missions of the HORIZON 2000 programme, the cornerstone mission of Herschel, formerly called the Far InfraRed and Submillimetre Telescope (FIRST), and the third medium sized mission, Planck. Herschel is a multi-user observatory, observing in the far infrared and sub-millimetre part of the electromagnetic spectrum, in the wavelength range from 60 to 670 microns. The Planck mission is a survey mission dedicated to map the anisotropies of the temperature of the cosmic background radiation. Both missions are planned to be launched in February 2007 on a single ARIANE 5 launcher from the European Space Port of Kourou. Both missions use orbits around the 2nd Lagrangian libration point L2, that is approximately 1.5 million kilometres away from the earth in the anti-sun direction. The programme has just started with the spacecraft development and the paper will give an overview on the Herschel and Planck system design, the planned project implementation and the actual status of the programme.
