Herschel Objectives
1. Investigate the creation of stars and their interaction
with the interstellar medium
2. Study the formation of galaxies in the early universe
and their subsequent evolution
3. Observe the chemical composition of the
atmospheres and surfaces of comets, planets and
moons
4. Examine the molecular chemistry of the universe
• Herschel is the first observatory-class mission at Terahertz frequencies
• First complete coverage of wavelengths between far-infrared and
submillimeter, 60 - 670 m
• Highest spectral (107) and spatial (8") resolution in Teraherz region

ETH: Water in Star and
Planet Formation
Why observe water?
• Water is important in energetics (main coolant at
high density)
• Water is important for sticking grains to planetoids
• Water is a tracer for temperature, X-rays,
star and planet formation
• Water is important for life
• Water cannot be observed from the ground

Summary of Experiences
1. Technologically very demanding project.
2. At Institute of Astronomy we have worked only with existing
manpower. Very small group!!
3. We have learned very much at ETH, and probably also
industry (HTS Wallisellen and Baumer electric).
4. Relation with industry without major problems. PRODEX
handled subtle negotiation and controlling with industrial
partner. VERY IMPORTANT!!
5. Delivery of hardware on schedule (our own!)
6. and to full satisfaction (no complaints yet).
7. Conclusion: PRODEX allows small groups at universities to
cooperate with industry in large projects.

Lessons Learnt
(optical part)
1. Start early in the project to get interesting part.
2. Have detailed design close to manufacturing.
3. Start early to talk with Swiss industry.
4. Space qualification not possible at ETH Zurich.
5. Watch communication between partners
(many components, many details)
