| Description | Sub-millimeter Spectroscopy with a 500-1000 GHz SIS Receiver, which extended over the period October 1, 1991 through January 31, 1997. The purpose of the grant was to fund the development and construction of a sensitive heterodyne receiver system for the submillimeter band (500-1000 GHz), using our newly-developed sensitive superconducting (SIS) detectors, and to carry out astronomical observations with this system aboard the NASA Kuiper Air- borne Observatory (a Lockheed C-141 aircraft carrying a 91 cm telescope). A secondary purpose of the grant was to stimulate the continued development of sensitive submillimeter detectors, in order to prepare for the next-generation airborne observatory, SOFIA, as well as future space missions (such as the ESA/NASA FIRST mission). |
