• The NGST (Next Generation Space Telescope), scheduled for launch in 2009, will bea successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. It will cover the range from 0.6 to 28 μm with an 8m radiatively cooled telescope, carrying cameras and spectrometers. It will study infrared lightbecause the expanding universe redshifts the main stellar luminosity into the near IR, because manycool objects emit only infrared, and because infrared can penetrate opaque dust clouds to showthe processes of star formation and obscured galactic nuclei. It will orbit around the Sun-EarthLagrange point L2. It is a joint project of the NASA, ESA, and CSA, and scientfic operations willbe provided by the Space Telescope Science Institute.
