Scientific paper

The design and performance of a far-infrared telescope are discussed. The instrument is twenty centimeters in diameter and has excellent operating characteristics at 100 microns. The principal features of the telescope are summarized. A diagram of the system is provided. The telescope completed two sucessful balloon flights in which the planets Mars and Saturn were used as calibration sources. Observations were made of the H2 regions W 3, Orion A, NGC 2024, and the bright infrared galaxy M 82.
