SPICA (proposed)

Target entity: SPICA (proposed)
Context triple: [JAXA planetary exploration program, includesMission, SPICA (proposed)]

• A. Spitzer Space Telescope
  The Spitzer Space Telescope was a NASA infrared space observatory that studied the universe in long-wavelength light, revealing cold, dusty, and distant objects invisible to optical telescopes.
• B. SOAR Telescope
  The SOAR Telescope is a 4.1-meter optical and near-infrared astronomical telescope located in Chile and used for a wide range of research observations of the southern sky.
• C. Atacama Pathfinder Experiment
  The Atacama Pathfinder Experiment is a submillimeter-wavelength radio telescope located in Chile’s Atacama Desert, used for studying cold gas and dust in the universe.
• D. Spektr-RG observatory
  The Spektr-RG observatory is a Russian-German space telescope mission designed to conduct an all-sky X-ray survey, particularly focused on studying galaxy clusters, black holes, and other high-energy cosmic phenomena.
• E. MICROSCOPE satellite mission
  The MICROSCOPE satellite mission was a French-led space experiment designed to test the validity of Einstein’s equivalence principle with unprecedented precision by comparing the free fall of different materials in orbit.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
