Investigation Development Plan for Reflight of the Small Helium-Cooled Infrared Telescope Experiment. Volume 1: Investigation and Technical/Management

摘要

The Infrared Telescope (IRT) is designed to survey extended celestial sources of infrared radiation between 4 and 120 micrometers wavelength. It will provide data regarding Space Shuttle induced environmental contamination and the zodical light. And, it will provide experience in the management of large volumes of superfluid helium in the space environment.
