Overview

The AKARI satellite was a dedicated satellite for infrared astronomical observations. Its telescope mirror had a diameter of 685 mm and was capable of observing across the 2-180 micron near-infrared to far-infrared spectral regions, with two focal-plane instruments: the InfraRed Camera (IRC) and the Far Infrared Surveyor (FIS).
