Description
WISH is a space science mission whose primary goal is to reveal the first-
generation galaxies in the early young universe. We launch a 1.5m-aperture
telescope equipped with 0.5-degree-diameter wide-field NIR camera by middle
of 2010's in order to conduct ultra-deep and wide-area sky survey with the
depth that cannot have been achieved by previous ground-base telescopes.
WISH should be a very powerful and unique facility not only for the search for
first-generation objects but also for study of dark energy and many other fields
in astronomy.
