In the far-infrared part of the spectrum a number of atomic and ionic emission lines occur, which are useful for a study of the physics and chemistry of the interstellar medium and star-forming regions. The present and future situation regarding possibilities of observing these lines is discussed. In particular, the potentials with a small-sized balloon experiment, carrying a cryogenic spectrometer with a large field-of-view (>10 arc minutes) is addressed. Examples are given of galactic and extragalactic objects, which will be observed in the 157.7 μm [C+] emission line.
