The 8-14 micron infrared spectrum of the zodiacal dust cloud was measured. The observations were made with a liquid helium cooled array spectrometer and telescope from an altitude of approximately 300 km. The design, testing, and calibration of the rocket payload are described. The spectrum shows a pronounced silicate emission feature similar to that seen in carbonaceous chondrites and in the Orion Nebula, along with a dilute underlying black body.
