Abstract

A small, cryogenically cooled infrared telescope named IRTS (Infrared Telescope in Space) is under development. The telescope is equipped with spectrometers and a photometer with medium spatial and spectral resolution covering the wavelength range from 1 to 1000 μm. The instrument is specially designed for observations of the cosmic background radiation and galactic infrared radiation. It will be flown on board a Japanese reusable free-flyer called SFU (space flyer unit) to be launched in 1994.
