摘要
The MIRI is the mid-IR (5-28mum) instrument for NGST and provides for imaging, cororographic, high- and low-resolution spectroscopic capabilities. Unlike to the other instruments on NGST, the MIRI must be cooled - to reduce the thermal background from the optics and because the detectors require an operating temperature of about 7k.. In this paper we summarise the-science goals, the proposed overall opto-mechanical concept, the thermal design aspects, the detectors and the expected sensitivity of the instrument.
