We present a far-infrared polarimetric camera for future space observatories. The instrument will allow the study of the magnetic field in various astrophysical environments thanks to its unprecedented ability to measure the linear polarization. The maps produced by the instrument will contain not only information on total power, but also on the degree and the angle of polarization, simultaneously in six spectral bands (between 70 and 500 microns). The detectors are ultra-sensitive silicon bolometers that are intrinsically sensitive to polarization. We will present the optical and thermal architectures of the instrument and we will show the expected performances based on preliminary lab work.
