Abstract

The FIRBE (Far-Infrared Balloon-Borne Experiment) pro ject is focused on mapping of the far-infrared emission from the Galaxy and external galaxies with the same spatial resolution as that of the IRAS. Two dimensional array on a low emissivity telescope is a powerful facility for wide-area survey.
