• We present the concept of the HII/L2 (or SPICA) mission, which incorporates a 3.5 mtelescope cooled to 4.5 K. HII/L2 will focus on high-resolution mid- to far-infrared observationswith unprecedented sensitivity. It will make great contributions to our understanding of basicastronomical questions, such as the history of star-formation in the universe, the birth and evolutionof AGN, the formation of planets in extrasolar systems, and the history of our solar system.To realize the mission, we propose a "warm launch" cooled telescope concept; the telescope is tobe launched at ambient temperature and is to be cooled in orbit to 4.5 K by a modest mechanicalcooler system with the assistance of effective radiative cooling. HII/L2 is proposed to be launchedinto a halo orbit around S-E L2 in 2010.
