Attention is given to the rocket-borne infrared sky-survey experiments developed by the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory. The two survey instruments designed for the experiments are the Survey Program of Infrared Celestial Experiments (SPICE) sensor, and the Far Infrared Sky Survey Experiment (FIRSSE) telescope. The SPICE sensor is cooled by super-critical helium and covers the 8-30 micron spectral range in three bands. The FIRSSE instrument has a super-fluid helium reservoir and incorporates the three bands while also extending the measurements to 120 microns with two additional focal plane arrays. The instruments permit extending previous measurements four to five times deeper into the galaxy. The experiments are designed to be flown on ARIES sounding rockets at 380 km.
