NASA NTRS1996

Mid-Infrared Optimized Resolution Spacecraft (MIRORS)

A concept study was performed in 1994 to develop a mission design for a telescope to achieve the highest possible spatial resolution in the 10-30 micron range within a $200 million mission cost cap. The selected approach for the resulting Mid-Infrared Optimized Resolution Spacecraft (MIRORS) concept design utilizes a partially filled five meter aperture.

ISOCAM* Observations of NGC 6946: Mid-IR Structure

The nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946 was observed with ISO-CAM in the mid-infrared, achieving 7inch resolution and sub-MJy sr(sup -1) sensitivity. Images taken with CAM filters LW2 (7(micro)m) and LW3 (15(micro)m) are analyzed to determine the morphology of this galaxy and understand beter the emission mechanisms.
