Dryden is slated to conduct flight testing for a flying telescope called the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA.
5-meter telescope nearly five times the size of ISO's, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy is housed permanently in an airplane that will cruise 45,000 feet above Earth.
For infrared, the West Germans expect to provide 15 to 25 percent of the cost of NASA's planned Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), an aircraft that will carry a 3-meter telescope for observations while flying.
