Infrared Space Observatory
(ISO)
(1990s 60-cm infrared space telescope)
The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO)
was a space telescope in operation from 1995 to 1998,
operated by the European Space Agency.
Instruments:
- ISOCAM - infrared camera.
- ISOPHOT - photo-polarimeter.
- SWS - short wave spectrometer (2.4-45 micrometer).
- LWS - long wave Spectrometer (45-196.8 micrometer).
Targets included star-forming regions, protoplanetary disks, and
solar system objects.
Among the surveys carried out is ELAIS,
the European Large Area ISO Survey, covering at least five
