We present mosaics of the Galactic plane at 24 and 70 microns taken with the MIPS instrument aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. The region surveyed is -63 < l < 63, |b| < 1 excluding an sixteen square degree region about the Galactic center. The resolutions of the mosaics are 6 and 18 arcseconds FWHM at 24 and 70 microns, respectively. Substantial image processing has been applied to the SSC supplied basic calibrated data to produce the final mosaics. The data are useful for studies of massive star formation, the distribution and energetics of interstellar dust, evolved stars such as luminous blue variables, and supernova remnants. These mosaics will be publically available by mid-January 2007 and are going to be hosted by the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive.
This work is based on observations made with the Spitzer Space Telescope, which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under a contract with NASA. Support for this work was provided by NASA through an award issued by JPL/Caltech.
