The Herschel Mission

Herschel will be the largest ever infrared observatory to fly in space. It will be launched by an Ariane 5 together with ESA's Planck mission in 2009.

With its 3.5-metre mirror, Herschel will mark the beginning of a new generation of large space telescopes, allowing astronomers to peer deeper into space giving us an unprecedented view of the cosmos.
