Wide-field submm imager for next generation telescopes
Latest news : Artemis installed on APEX (25 sept. 2013)
The Artemis camera has been successfully installed on APEX telescope during the summer 2013. The new camera has already delivered a spectacularly detailed view of the Cat’s Paw Nebula.

The commissioning team that installed ArTeMIS had to battle against extreme weather conditions to complete the task.
FELICE
FELICE (acronym for "Future Electron LInear Collider Experiment") is a group of physicists and engineers working for the physics and detectors at the ILC (International Linear Collider). An electron-positron linear collider, with a centre-of-mass energy up to 1 TeV, has been chosen by a majority of physicists worldwide as the big project in High Energy Physics, after the commissioning of the LHC at CERN.
Herschel
An Infrared and Sub-millimetre Observatory
The Herschel telescope is a scientific space mission developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) dedicated to observing the Universe in the infrared and sub-millimetre ranges (wavelengths between 60 et 670 µm), a window of the electromagnetic spectrum that is still largely unexplored. It measures 9 m in length, 4 m in diameter and will weigh over 3 metric tons upon launch.
The James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) launched on 25 December 2021 is the successor of the Hubble Space Telescope. This is a NASA led mission with the participation of Europe, under the responsibility of the European Space Agency (ESA), and of Canada through the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The telescope has a collecting area 7 times larger than that of the HST and is dedicated to observe the Universe in the infrared radiation (from 1 to 27 micrometers).
