The primary objective during this CRC term is to play a leading role in, and provide a Canadian contribution to, the advancement of the Far-Infrared instrumentation needed for near-term and long-term future Far-Infrared astrophysics space missions. This involves direct participation in the development of the Canadian contribution to the European/Japanese Space Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) mission. It also involves exploration and advancement of spectroscopic and interferometric techniques in support of a long-term Far-Infrared spatial/spectral interferometry space mission. Finally, this involves the development and mechanical/thermal/optical characterization of space-qualified cryogenic materials and components including carbon-fibre composite materials.

在该委员会任期内，主要目标是在促进远红外天体物理学空间飞行任务近期和长期所需的远红外仪器方面发挥主导作用并作出加拿大的贡献。 这包括直接参与加拿大对欧洲/日本宇宙学和天体物理学空间红外望远镜（SPICA）使命的贡献。它还涉及探索和发展光谱和干涉测量技术，以支持长期远红外空间/光谱干涉测量空间使命。 最后，这涉及开发符合空间要求的低温材料和部件，包括碳纤维复合材料，并确定其机械/热/光学特性。
