Scientific paper

An evaluation is made of the technical prospects and scientific goals of the Space IR Telescope Facility (SIRTF), whose telescope is of 1-m aperture and cryogenically cooled and will be able to improve on IRAS performance in such areas as wavelength coverage, spectral and spatial resolution, and sensitivity. Attention is given to the findings of an intensive review of the long-life SIRTF mission, with a view to new determinations on its orbit, scientific performance requirements, and baseline design concepts, as well as the ways in which it will employ elements of the NASA Space Station.
