Observations of a 6 x 8-arcmin region at the core of Orion molecular cloud 1 are reported. Data obtained in the 806-GHz line of CO using the NASA Kuiper Airborne Observatory on September 15 and 17, 1986 are presented graphically and analyzed in detail. The results indicate a region of density 10,000/cu cm or greater and temperature of about 50 K extending several arcmin from the core; the total luminosities due to CO (J = 7-6) and to dust are estimated as 10 and 100,000 solar luminosities, respectively. Particular attention is given to the dust-embedded IR cluster BN-KL (with high-velocity outflow suggesting small optical depths) and a second more prominent feature about 2 arcmin to the south (with outflow of about 1 solar mass of material at 500-1000 K, radiating about 0.25 solar luminosity in CO 7-6).
