  • SPICA (spacecraft)
    The Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA), initially called HII/L2 after the launch vehicle and orbit, is a proposed infrared space telescope, follow-on to the successful AKARI spacecraft.
  • NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph)
    The NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) is one of the four scientific instruments which will be flown on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
  • Planck (spacecraft)
    Planck was a space observatory operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) from 2009 to 2013, which mapped the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at microwave and infra-red frequencies, with high sensitivity and small angular resolution.
  • Sentinel Space Telescope
    The Sentinel Space Telescope is a space observatory currently being designed and built for the B612 Foundation, and under development by Ball Aerospace & Technologies.
  • Spitzer Space Telescope
    The Spitzer Space Telescope (SST), formerly the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), is an infrared space observatory launched in 2003.
  • Herschel Space Observatory
    The Herschel Space Observatory was a space observatory built and operated by the European Space Agency (ESA).
  • Space Flyer Unit
    The Space Flyer Unit (宇宙実験・観測フリーフライヤ Uchū Jikken-Kansoku Free Flyer) was a spacecraft which was launched by Japan on Mar.
  • Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope
    The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is a future infrared space observatory that was recommended in 2010 by United States National Research Council Decadal Survey committee as the top priority for the next decade of astronomy.
  • Euclid (spacecraft)
    Euclid (named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria, the "Father of Geometry"), is a space mission currently under development by the European Space Agency (ESA).
  • Near-Earth Object Camera
    NEOCam (the Near-Earth Object Camera) is a proposed space-based infrared telescope designed to survey the Solar System for potentially hazardous asteroids.
  • Midcourse Space Experiment
    The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) is a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) satellite experiment (unmanned space mission) to map bright infrared sources in space.
  • Akari (satellite)
    Akari (ASTRO-F) is an infrared astronomy satellite developed by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, in cooperation with institutes of Europe and Korea.
