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.

CRC 任期内的主要目标是在近期和长期未来远红外天体物理太空任务所需的远红外仪器的发展中发挥主导作用，并为加拿大做出贡献。 这涉及直接参与加拿大对欧洲/日本宇宙学和天体物理学太空红外望远镜（SPICA）任务的贡献的开发。它还涉及光谱和干涉测量技术的探索和进步，以支持长期远红外空间/光谱干涉测量太空任务。 最后，这涉及太空级低温材料和组件（包括碳纤维复合材料）的开发和机械/热/光学表征。
