The Infrared Astronomical Satellite is designed to search distant stars and galaxies from the heat they give off. Scientists say that when it reaches polar orbit (560 miles above the earth) it will be far beyond the infrared-absorbing molecules of water vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmos phere, and will be able to detect distant heat sources. “If it works the way we expect, we ought to be able to survey 95 percent of the sky in the in frared,” Gerry Neugebauer, the American science team leader for the project said. Scientists said some objects expected to be visible to the tele scope include the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which is hid den from view by dust clouds; the birth of stars from the col lapse of superheated clouds; the deaths of stars as they exhaust their nuclear fuel; dense mole cular clouds in space between stars and objects — including other galaxies — far beyond the Milky Way. The heart of IRAS is a tele scope designed to detect in frared energy as faint as 1 mil lion of a trillionth of a watt per square centimeter. Weighing 1,782 pounds, the satellite’s key detector unit will be cooled by 125 gallons of helium to minus 455 degrees Fahrenheit to minimize the effects of infrared emissions from the satellite itself. IRAS, which is 12-feet high and 7-feet wide will collect 900 million bits of information dur ing its 14 daily orbits. Twice a day, during passes over tracking stations in England, it will fire its information back to earth at the rate of 1 million bits per second. Officials said that some of the information it sends back will be examined immediately in Eng land and the full data will be sent by a communications satellite to JPL for extensive processing.
