| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Observations with high spatial resolution in far-IR spectral domain have become critically important in contemporary astronomy, especially for investigations of star and planetary-system formation. FITE (Far-Infrared Interferometric Telescope Experiment) is a balloon-borne telescope, and has a unique capability of several arc-seconds resolving power in this domain. This research has increased the performance and reliability of FITE in several points; increasing the pixel format of the far-infrared array sensor, increasing the dynamic range of post electronics of the sensor, development of a new mirror alignment mechanism and a new interferometer adjustment mechanism. The result of this research will contribute to future space-borne interferometric telescopes.
