Scientific paper

SAFIRE/SOFIA is a versatile imaging Fabry-Perot spectrograph covering 100 < λ < 655 μ m, with spectral resolving power of ~ 103. Selected as a ``PI'' instrument for the airborne Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astonomy (SOFIA), SAFIRE will apply two dimensional pop-up bolometer arrays to provide background limited imaging spectrometry. We describe the instrument design, its application to a range of astrophysical investigations, and current progress and results in the innovative detector and instrument design. SAFIRE/SOFIA is on track for availability in 2006.
