There is  certainly no wavelength range which has, over the past several years,  seen such impressive advances in technology: large-scale detector  arrays, new designs for cooling in space, lightweight mirror  technologies. Scientific cases for observing the cold universe are  outstanding. Observations in the FIR\/Submm range will provide answers  to such fundamental questions as: What is the spectrum of the  primordial fluctuations? How do primeval galaxies look? What are the  first stages of star formation? Most of the international space  missions that have been triggered by these questions are presented in  detail here. Technological issues raised by these missions are  reviewed, as are the most recent achievements in cooling and detector  technologies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792336198\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0363-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 235\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312280129676,"sku":"9780792336198","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792336198.jpg?v=1771523307","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792336198","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
