Scientific paper

Results are presented of far-infrared (FIR) observations of the galactic Cygnus-X region, made with a 60-cm-diam FIR balloon-borne Cassegrain-type telescope equipped with secondary-mirror chopping. Observations were performed during five hours of a balloon flight with a 380,000 cu m stratospheric balloon at a height of 39 km over Aire/Adour (France) on September 26-27, 1990. Successful measurements were made on the dust emission of the molecular cloud complexes DR21/W75N and S106 at 80 and 130 micron wavelengths. Observations were also carried out at various wavelengths on the planet Mars.
