Abstract

This paper reviews a wide range of questions in astrophysics and cosmology that can be answered by astronomical observations in the far-IR to millimeter wavelength range and which include the formation and evolution of stars and planets, galaxies, and the interstellar medium, the study of black holes, and the development of the cosmological model. These questions are considered in relation to the Millimetron Space Observatory (Spectrum-M project), which is equipped with a 10 m aperture cooled telescope and can operate both as a single-dish telescope and as part of a space±ground very long baseline interferometer.
