Infrared Polarization Measurements of Io in 1986

TL;DR: Goguen and Sinton as mentioned in this paper used two different polarimeters at 3.8 and 4.8 microns to detect the polarization of reflected sunlight at both wavelengths of Io.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

The SIRTF Mission

TL;DR: The Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) as mentioned in this paper is a cryogenically-cooled, one meter-class space telescope which will be operated by NASA as an observatory for infrared astronomy, in the mid 1990's SIRTF will build on the scientific and technical success of IRAS, but will have greater capabilities in all important scientific areas - wavelength coverage, spectral and spatial resolution, and sensitivity.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A large-aperture space telescope for infrared and submillimeter astronomy.

TL;DR: The Large Aperture Telescope (LAT) as mentioned in this paper is a large aperture telescope that will operate in the 2-1000 micron wavelength range and has a diameter of 10-30 m. The LAT could be carried into orbit with a single launch of the Space Transportation System and semiautomatically deployed as a free flyer with a nominal 10-yr mission duration.
