Abstract
A telescope for rocket-borne ir astronomy is described. It consists of a 166-mm cassegrainian telescope cooled to liquid helium temperature and operated with a total radiation chopper. Details of the optical, cryogenic, and electronic designs are given.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
