Abstract
The NASA Space Infrared Observatory Facility (SIRTF) is a cryogenically cooled space observatory being developed for use in the early years of the next century. SIRTF will carry an 85 cm primary optic cooled to 5.5K and instrumentation covering the wavelength range from 3(micro)m to 180 (micro)m.
