INVESTIGATION OF BRIGHT SOURCES OF LONG-WAVE INFRARED RADIATION.

Abstract

The Flying Infrared Telescope is described with particular reference to its mechanical and optical design. A program plan is outlined whereby this airborne telescope may be used to support a ground-based far infrared survey instrument in the acquisition of information on the number and spacial distribution of astronomical LWIR sources.
