Quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) are attractive for use in astronomy because they offer good sensitivity, are very stable, are easily manufactured in large sizes, and have (comparatively) warm operating temperatures. We describe an astronomical camera based on an 8.5 /μm QWIP array which was built at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and is operated at the Palomar 5-m telescope. We highlight some science results obtained with this instrument, then discuss the prospects for QWIP arrays in future NASA astronomy missions.
