A Liquid Nitrogen Cooled, Rocket Borne, Infrared Telescope

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have constructed a liquid nitrogen cooled telescope that was flown in an Aerobee 150 rocket. The telescope allows measurement of absolute ir signal strengths from astronomical objects in the wavelength range out to about 7.5 μ. In contrast to ground-based telescopes, it can observe diffuse as well as discrete astronomical sources.
