SAFIR

SAFIR (or Single Aperture Far-InfraRed observatory) is a proposed space observatory for far-infrared light. The plan calls for single large mirror 5–10 meters in diameter, cooled to 5 kelvins (−268 °C; −451 °F). This would feed detector arrays sensitive from 5 to 1000 µm. The possibility of servicing such a telescope in space has been evaluated. It is a large cryogenic space telescope.
