Space Infrared Telescope Facility - Conceptual spacecraft definition
Abstract
The Space IR Telescope Facility (SIRTF) program, which envisions a 1-m aperture cryogenically cooled telescope for 1.8-700 micron observations having an operational lifetime of several years, is now conceived as a free-flying, dedicated platform rather than a Space Shuttle instrument. Attention is presently given to the design configuration requirements of this updated concept in the matters of (1) pointing and control, (2) communications, command, and data handling, and (3) electrical power supplies.
