TL;DR: The Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) as mentioned in this paper is a cryogenically cooled observatory for infrared astronomy from space and is planned for launch early in the next decade.
Abstract: This paper describes the status of NASA's Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) program. SIRTF will be a cryogenically cooled observatory for infrared astronomy from space and is planned for launch early in the next decade. We summarize a newly modified baseline SIRTF mission and provide and overview of SIRTF's scientific programs.

TL;DR: The Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) as mentioned in this paper is a large-format detector array for both imaging and spectroscopy applications in infrared astronomy from space, and is scheduled for launch early in the next decade.
Abstract: The Space Infrared Telescope Facility -- SIRTF -- will be a cryogenically cooled observatory for infrared astronomy from space and is planned for launch early in the next decade. SIRTF will build on the scientific and technical results obtained by IRAS, COBE and ISO, but it will go beyond these cryogenic space missions by making extensive use -- for both imaging and spectroscopy -- of large-format detector arrays. This paper discusses a newly modified baseline SIRTF mission and its scientific capabilities.© (1993) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
