Description
A brief review is presented of infrared astronomical instrumentation which has been proposed or accepted for observations from space platforms. Some stress is placed on cryogenic design problems which have hitherto formed barriers to progress. Technical solutions to problems are outlined, and steps in implementing some of them are described.
