About this work
The Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) arrives at Building AE from the Lockheed Martin plant in Sunnyvale, Calif., to begin final preparations for its launch aboard a Delta II rocket. SIRTF will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space. Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground.
