A balloon-borne, FIR 60 cm telescope has been constructed which is equipped with He-cooled filters and a composite silicon bolometer having an NEP of 1.3 x 10 to the -14th W/sq rt Hz for imaging, radiometry and spectroscopy of the Cygnus region at wavelengths up to 330 microns. A test flight took place at the CNES balloon station at Aire/Adour, F, on May 8, 1989. The balloon stayed 4.5 h at the observation height of 39 km. Tests and results are discussed.
