Scientific paper

SIRTF will require new liquid helium cryogenics and optical technology at liquid helium temperatures to meet the scientific requirements. In particular, it will require a helium cryogenic system operating at 1.25 K with a lifetime of five years. The optical system will require a 1-m mirror operating at 2 K, which is diffraction limited at 3 microns. This paper describes the advances which will be needed and the approaches to be taken.
