Scientific paper

The employment of a large infrared telescope for Spacelab astronomical studies is currently considered by the European Space Agency. Such an instrument could be used in the study of cool objects including planetary atmospheres, early and late type stars, the interstellar medium, and external galaxies. An important object of study will be the center of the Galaxy which is completely obscured at visible wavelengths by the concentration of interstellar dust. A description of the telescope is presented, taking into account instrument design and performance. Attention is also given to focal plane instrumentation, questions of Spacelab accommodation, operations, and orbital considerations.
