Scientific paper
This paper summarizes the scientific opportunities made available by SIRTF - the Space Infrared Telescope Facility. SIRTF will be a cryogenically-cooled space telescope instrumented with large-format, state of the art monolithic infrared detector arrays. SIRTF will complete NASA's family of Great Observatories and also serve as the first major scientific and technical step in the Origins program. It will be launched in 2001, carrying a complement of imaging and spectroscopic instrumentation, for a mission ~5 yr in duration. More than 75% of the observing time on SIRTF will be available to the general scientific community. The first opportunity for the general community to propose for observing time on SIRTF will come with the first call for Legacy Science proposals, to be released in July, 2000.
