Data of thermal expansion do not always show a regular positive slope increasing with temperature, as those shown in Fig. 13.3 [57], Look, for example, in Fig. 13.4, at the data for a cold sintered SiC, a material specially suitable for the realization of high-quality mirrors for space astronomy [58],...

Stern then became a research fellow at the Center for Space Geosciences Policy (1988-91) and research associate in the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (1989-90) at Colorado and research associate at the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy (1990-91). In 1991, he joined the Southwest Research Institute, an independent, nonprofit applied research and development organization with headquarters in San Antonio, Texas. He has since served as principal scientist (1991-92), section manager (1992-97), and department director (1998- ) in the Institute s Space Science Department located in Boulder, Colorado. In 2002, Stern was appointed full professor adjunct in the Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences at the University of Colorado.

This particular Symposium was unique in many ways. It is the first symposium on the subject of infrared and submillimeter astronomy to be held at a COSPAR meeting. It was also one of the rare occasions in which an international group of infrared astronomers, primarily interested in space astronomy, has gathered together to exchange ideas and information. The number of astronomers that attended the Symposium is another indication of the rapid growth and importance of space astronomy in the infrared and submillimeter region of the spectrum.

The instrumentation used for UV space astronomy is, in most respects, similar to that used in ground-based astronomy. The differences have to do, primarily, with the following (1) UV radiation is not transmitted as efficiently by, or by as wide a variety of, transparent materials (used for windows, lenses, and other refractive optical elements) as are visible and near-infrared radiation and (2) reflective coatings for mirrors and reflection gratings are not as...
