“…Hence, SPICA requires a primary mirror with a much larger physical size than SST 13 Basically, the cryogenic verification of optical performance of the SPICA telescope system will be possible by the same test methods with those applied to the ASTRO-F telescope. However, since the optical path length required for a measurement system increases by about 5 times as compared to ASTRO-F, the height of a test chamber (~20 m) would pose a problem if we adopt a vertical-axis measurement configuration as shown in Figure 2; we will adopt a horizontalaxis measurement configuration.…”

“…Examples of some other early science results can also be found elsewhere in these proceedings. 2 The Spitzer flight components are shown in Figure 1 and certain top-level characteristics are given in Table 1. In order to reach its required infrared sensitivity the Spitzer instruments and the telescope had to be capable of operation at temperatures below 5.5K -a requirement that entered into all aspects of the facility and mission design, including the choice of orbit.…”

“…Successors to IRAS include the ESA Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) in 1995, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) in 2003 [29,35]. The three instruments on Spitzer are currently observing near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) radiation between 3 and 180 |xm [35].…”

In February 2006, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) ASTRO-F satellite joined the SST in orbit with two of its own NIR and MIR cam eras [36,37].…”
