The mirror of the Herschel space telescope: test and mission

In 2005, the mirror of the future Herschel space telescope, scheduled to be launched in 2007, was assembled and tested in Toulouse by Intelsat. More efficient than the Hubble telescope, its mission will be to detect infrared emissions from galaxies and stars. Manufactured by the companies Boostec and EADS-Astrium it is the largest in the world and has for characteristic its lightness. Interviews with Michel Bouffard, Director of Earth Observation and Science at EADS-Astrium, and Yves Toulemont, Herschel project manager at EADS-Astrium.
