Scientific paper

The SOFIA is a 2.5-meter telescope built into a Boeing 747 airplane. It will fly at altitudes between 12-14 km above 99.8% of the atmospheric water vapor, making possible observations throughout the far-infrared and submillimeter spectral region. Nine focal plane instruments providing imaging and low-to-high resolution spectroscopy will be available. It will be operated as a guest observer facility. The first call for ``Early Basic Science'' will be issued in December 2009, the call for Demonstration Science will be issued early in 2010, and the call for Cycle 0 Guest Investigator programs is planned for January 2011.
