Scientific paper

The history of infrared astronomy in Japan using balloons and rockets is summarized. Observations of diffuse emission, galactic radiation and cosmic background radiation have to date been the main areas of interest in Japanese infrared astronomy. C II line mapping of the galactic plane, a new area of interest, is discussed. A satellite borne mission intended to further such line mapping research is described. The mission is Infra Red Telescope in Space (IRTS) and consists of a small cryogenically cooled telescope specifically designed for observations of diffuse IR and sub-mm radiation.
