Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA)

Description:	SOFIA is a Boeing 747SP aircraft modified to accommodate a 2.5 meter reflecting telescope. Its instruments provide researchers with access to a wavelength coverage from the optical to the submillimeter (0.35 - 655 microns).
Wavelength:	0.35 - 655 µm
Area Coverage:	Targeted
Instruments:	2.5-m telescope with FORCAST mid-infrared camera and spectrograph (Herter et al. 2018) GREAT heterodyne spectrometer (Risacher et al. 2018) FIFI-LS far-infrared spectrometer (Fischer et al. 2018) EXES echelle spectrograph (Richter et al. 2018) FPI+ focal plane imager (Pfuller et al. 2018) HAWC+ far-infrared camera and polarimeter (Harper et al. 2018) FLITECAM near-infrared camera and spectrograph (McLean et al. 2006) HIPO high speed imaging photometer for occultations (Dunham et al. 2004)
Time Coverage:	25 May 2010 - present
Science Products Generated:	Observation data and calibration files
Acknowledgement:	Information for Authors
