1976réf. 40798Washington DC: GPO 1976. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Wraps. good. xi 1 231 1 pages. Wraps. Frontis illustration. Illustrations. Acronyms. Author index. Pencil erasure on half-title. This volume contains the author's summaries of their papers on the space telescope presented at the 21st annual meeting of the American Astronautical Society at Denver Colorado August 26-28 1975. Space-based astronomy had begun on a very small scale following World War II as scientists made use of developments that had taken place in rocket technology. The first ultraviolet spectrum of the Sun was obtained in 194612 and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA launched the Orbiting Solar Observatory OSO to obtain UV X-ray and gamma-ray spectra in 1962. An orbiting solar telescope was launched in 1962 by the United Kingdom as part of the Ariel space program and in 1966 NASA launched the first Orbiting Astronomical Observatory OAO mission. OAO-1's battery failed after three days terminating the mission. It was followed by OAO-2 which carried out ultraviolet observations of stars and galaxies from its launch in 1968 until 1972 well beyond its original planned lifetime of one year. The OSO and OAO missions demonstrated the important role space-based observations could play in astronomy and in 1968 NASA developed firm plans for a space-based reflecting telescope with a mirror 3 m in diameter known provisionally as the Large Orbiting Telescope or Large Space Telescope LST with a launch slated for 1979. These plans emphasized the need for manned maintenance missions to the telescope to ensure such a costly program had a lengthy working life and the concurrent development of plans for the reusable space shuttle indicated that the technology to allow this was soon to become available.

Various paginations approximately 125 pages. References. From Wikipedia: "The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy SOFIA is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center DLR to construct and maintain an airborne observatory. NASA awarded the contract for the development of the aircraft operation of the observatory and management of the American part of the project to the Universities Space Research Association USRA in 1996. The DSI Deutsches SOFIA Institut manages the German parts of the project which are primarily science and telescope related. SOFIA's telescope saw first light on May 26 2010. SOFIA is the successor to the Kuiper Airborne Observatory.SOFIA is based on a Boeing 747SP wide-body aircraft that has been modified to include a large door in the aft fuselage that can be opened in flight to allow a 2.5 meter diameter reflecting telescope access to the sky. This telescope is designed for infrared astronomy observations in the stratosphere at altitudes of about 41 000 feet about 12 km. SOFIA's flight capability allows it to rise above almost all of the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere which blocks some infrared wavelengths from reaching the ground. At the aircraft's cruising altitude 85% of the full infrared range will be available. The aircraft can also travel to almost any point on the Earth's surface allowing observation from the northern and southern hemispheres. Once ready for use the expectation is for observing flights to be flown 3 or 4 nights a week for the next 20 years. SOFIA is now based at NASA's Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility at LA/Palmdale Regional Airport California while staff at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View California operate the SOFIA Science Center where astronomical observation missions are planned for the flying observatory. The NASA logo reflected in SOFIAs 2.5-meter primary mirror. SOFIA uses a 2.5-meter reflector telescope which has an oversized 2.7 meter diameter primary mirror as is common with most large infrared telescopes. The optical system uses a Cassegrain reflector design with a parabolic primary mirror and a remotely configurable hyperbolic secondary. In order to fit the telescope into the fuselage the primary is shaped to an f-number as low as 1.3 while the resulting optical layout has an f-number of 19.7. A flat tertiary dichroic mirror is used to deflect the infrared part of the beam to the Nasmyth focus where it can be analyzed. An optical mirror located behind the tertiary mirror is used for a camera guidance system. The telescope looks out of a large door in the side of the fuselage near the airplane's tail and will initially carry nine instruments for infrared astronomy at wavelengths from 1 655 micrometres and high-speed optical astronomy at wavelengths from 0.3 1.1 micrometres. The main instruments are the FLITECAM a near infrared camera covering 1 5 micrometres; FORCAST covering the mid-infrared range of 5 40 micrometres and HAWC which spans the far infrared in the range 42 210 micrometres. The other four instruments include an optical photometer and infrared spectrometers with various spectral ranges. SOFIA s telescope is by far the largest ever to be placed in an aircraft. For each mission one interchangeable science instrument will be attached to the telescope. Two groups of general purpose instruments are available. In addition an investigator can also design and build a special purpose instrument. On April 17 2012 two upgrades to HAWC were selected by NASA to increase the field of view with new detector arrays and to add the capability of measuring the polarization of dust emission from celestial sources. The open cavity housing the telescope will be exposed to high-speed turbulent winds. In addition the vibrations and motions of the aircraft introduce observing difficulties. The telescope was designed to be very lightweight with a honeycomb shape milled into the back of the mirror and polymer composite material used for the telescope.
