摘要

The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is a joint program between NASA and the German Space Agency, or DLR. The agreement is that NASA provides the platform for the observatory, a highly modified 747-SP, while DLR provides a 2.5-meter telescope that is capable of operating from visible up to millimeter wavelengths. The airplane modifications and the telescope assembly development were both extremely difficult, one-of-a-kind technical challenges. I say "were" because as of early February, all of the physical modifications to the aircraft were complete, and the DLR-provided telescope was fully integrated into the airplane and had passed two initial optical test periods. SOFIA is now within months of its first flight test.
