The Infrared Telescope in Space (IRTS)
The IRTS is the first Japanese orbiting mission for infrared astronomy. The IRTS was equipped with a 15-cm cooled telescope and four scientific instruments :
- the Near-InfraRed Spectrometer (NIRS;
1.4-4.0 µm) - the Mid-InfraRed Spectrometer (MIRS;
4.5-11.7 µm) - the Far-Infrared Line Mapper (FILM;
145, 155, 158, 160 µm) - the Far-InfraRed Photometer (FIRP;
150, 250, 400, 700 µm)
The angular resolution of the FIRP images is 0.5 deg and units are W/m2/sr/Hz.
