Boomerang
The continuing mission of the Boomerang project is to study the properties of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMBR).

DUNE
The purpose of the DUNE mission (Dark UNiverse Explorer) is to shed light on the dark components of the Universe with a wide field imager in space.

Juno
Juno will fly to Jupiter and orbit its polar regions in order to understand the planet's gross size and structural properties, as well as measure Jupiter's atmospheric composition, temperature and deep wind profiles.

Planck
Planck is the first European mission to study the birth of the Universe. Planck was launched on the 14th of May of 2009.

Rosetta
The Rosetta mission is designed to study the origin of comets, the relationship between cometary and interstellar material and its implications with regard to the origin of the Solar System.

SNAP
SNAP is a proposed optical/infrared mission that would detect thousands of Type Ia supernova plus conduct weak-lensing studies.

Spider
Spider is a balloon borne observatory designed to probe the epoch of Inflation through measurements of the CMB polarization on the largest angular scales. Large format planar arrays and wide area sky coverage enable a definitive measurement of the signatu

Spitzer
The Spitzer Space Telescope (formerly SIRTF, the Space Infrared Telescope Facility) was launched into space by a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on 25 August 2003.

BICEP
BICEP (Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization) is an experiment designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to unprecedented precision.

ARCADE
ARCADE (Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Diffuse Emission) is a high altitude balloon payload designed to study the early universe.

SAFIR
The Single Aperture Far-Infrared Observatory (SAFIR) is a large cryogenic space telescope envisioned as a follow-on to the Spitzer Space Telescope (Spitzer) and the Herschel Space Observatory.

Z-Spec
Z-Spec is a novel millimeter-wave grating spectrometer for observing galaxies throughout cosmic time.

Herschel
The Herschel Space Observatory is a space-based telescope that studies the Universe in the light of the far-infrared and submillimeter portions of the spectrum.

BLISS for SPICA
BLISS for SPICA is a US-built mid- to far-infrared spectrograph for the Japanese-led SPICA mission.
