Scientific paper

Infrared astronomy programs are discussed, with attention given to the NASA Gerard P. Kuiper Observatory (a gyroscopically stabilized 91-cm telescope mounted in a converted aircraft), a 102-cm balloon-borne gyroscopically-stabilized telescope operated by commands from the ground, as well as a projected 15-cm IR telescope on board Spacelab-2, the Infrared Astronomy Satellite, scheduled for launch in 1981, and the Space Shuttle Infrared Telescope Facility, which will employ a liquid-helium cooled 1.2-m telescope. Results of several IR observing campaigns are reported, including those related to stellar evolution in the Orion Nebula, the tentative identification of protostar clusters, and the discovery of a young star in the constellation Cygnus surrounded by a preplanetary disk.
