The Far Infrared Interferometer (FIRI) Technology Reference Study (TRS) investigates the feasibility of an interferometer to achieve an angular resolution of less than 1 arcsecond at wavelengths between 25 and 300 μm. The selected baseline concept is a single spacecraft Michelson interferometer with two cryogenically cooled telescopes on two deployable booms and a central hub.
