Scientific paper

A large submillimeter and far infrared orbiting astronomical observatory were designed. The operating wavelength will be between 1 mm (1000 micro m) and 30 micro m. The short wavelength limit is a compromise between the point where smaller, cooled telescopes become more sensitive and practical technology. The short wavelength limit may be increased if the tradeoff between cost and scientific return is advantageous.
