The Infrared Astronomical Satellite - IRASThe Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), to be launched in the autumn of 1981, is expected to reveal much that is new and exciting. The paper discusses the design features and performance of IRAS, illustrates the meaning of this performance in terms of known phenomena, and stipulates how it may extrapolate to the early universe. The ability of IRAS to observe the universe at large redshift is examined.
