Submillimeter observations from space: a Space Station Submillimeter Facility (SSSF)

The large manned Space Station will provide, for the first time, a permanent structure in space with a size sufficient to carry a high- resolution high-sensitivity synthesis interferometer operating at submillimeter wavelengths. This paper discusses the many possibilities for astrophysical investiga...

Zusammenfassung:	The large manned Space Station will provide, for the first time, a permanent structure in space with a size sufficient to carry a high- resolution high-sensitivity synthesis interferometer operating at submillimeter wavelengths. This paper discusses the many possibilities for astrophysical investigations at submillimeter wavelengths and describes the instrument designed to carry these observations. Attention is also given to data handling in space and on the ground. (I.S.)
