Scientific paper

Approximately 9000 square degrees of the celestial sphere was surveyed in four infrared bands with a rocket-probe-borne telescope. This Far Infrared Sky Survey Experiment (FIRSSE) covered the galactic plane between 120 degrees and 255 degrees longitude and the Orion and Taurus Molecular Clouds. A list of almost 300 bright 90 micrometer sources is presented along with associated measurements at 20, 27 and 40 micrometers. A description is given of the conduct of the experiment, the first space-borne use of super-fluid helium under active thermal loading.
