Scientific paper

An optimized cooled IR telescope of 1 m aperture diameter will offer sensitivities over the 1 micron to 1 mm spectrum at least 1000 times greater than can be achieved from the ground in the atmospheric windows, and comparable sensitivities at wavelengths that are outside the windows. A study has shown that a cryogenically-cooled telescope of up to 1.6 m aperture diameter for Spacelab is feasible without new technology, although some development of detectors and scientific instruments to take advantage of the extreme sensitivity is indicated.-
