Prospects for future satellite missions, operating in the FIR-mm wavelength region, to study the polarisation of the cosmic background radiation (CBR) and to carry out imaging and spectroscopy of high-redshift galaxies, are discussed. Full characterisation of the CBR polarisation offers the possibility of determining the energy scale of inflation and constraining the form of the inflaton potential. Current technology in FIR imaging and spectroscopy falls well short of matching capabilities in the optical/UV and the mm regions. Filling this gap is important to allow detailed examination of the physics and evolution of high-redshift galaxies, and will be possible with future FIR observatories which are now being studied.
