Abstract

The Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM) is a NASA far-infrared long-duration balloon mission, which aims to study the 3D structure of our star forming universe using far-infrared spectral lines. We will present the scientific goal of TIM, the architecture of the balloon payload and spectrometer, and reports upon the current status of hardware components.
