    Abstract:
    Submillimeter-wave telescope on board S-520-17 was launched on January 23, 1995. The telescope is dedicated for observation of cold dust within Orion molecular cloud. In this paper, a brief description of the telescope system and review through the environmental test, preflight calibration, and flight performance is described. Also discussed in the last section is a development of array detectors for future space mission in far-infrared and submillimeter- wave.

    ASTRONOMYAfter a difficult gestation, the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) was christened this week. NASA is renaming SIRTF the Spitzer Space Telescope in honor of the late astrophysicist Lyman Spitzer Jr., who first conceived of a large telescope in orbit.
