Origins Space Telescope (Origins) is a concept study for a far-infrared survey space telescope mission.[1] A preliminary concept in pre-formulation, it was presented to the United States Decadal Survey in 2019 for a possible selection to NASA's large strategic science missions. Origins would provide an array of new tools for studying star formation and the energetics and physical state of the interstellar medium within the Milky Way using infrared radiation and new spectroscopic capabilities.[2]
Study groups, primarily composed of international community members, prioritized the science identification and science drivers of the mission architecture.[3][4] The study groups drew upon input from the international astronomical community; such a large mission will need international participation and support to make it a reality.[5]
