The contents include: 1) Heritage & History; 2) Level 1 Requirements; 3) Top Level Overview of the Observatory; 4) Development Challenges The new view was made possible the world’s largest airborne telescope, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA. Flying high in the atmosphere, this modified Boeing 747 pointed its infrared camera called FORCAST – the Faint Object Infrared Camera for the SOFIA Telescope – to observe warm, galactic material The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is included in this report at the request of the House Science and Technology Committee staff. SOFIA is currently funded under a NASA mission budget line and is not under an airborne science budget line. Upon completion of its development SOFIA's methodology for calculating research funding results in awards that are not commensurate with the complexity and uniqueness of the observatory. NASA modeled SOFIA's research funding Early Science Results from SOFIA, the World’s Largest Airborne Observatory James M. De Buizer Universities Space Research Association – Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy ABSTRACT The Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, is the largest flying observatory ever built, NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is the world's largest airborne astronomical observatory, complementing NASA's space telescopes as well as major Earth-based telescopes. SOFIA features a German-built far-infrared telescope … SOFIA will be a three meter class telescope operating in a Boeing 747, offering astronomers routine access to infrared wavelengths unavailable from the ground, and with the means to observe transient astronomical events from anywhere in the world. The concept is based on 15 years of experience with NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO), which SOFIA will replace in the mid 1990's. … SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, is a joint project of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR; German Aerospace Centre, grant: 50OK0901).
