The Spitzer Space Telescope (formerly SIRTF, the Space Infrared Telescope Facility) was launched into space by a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral, FL. on August 25, 2003. NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has resulted in improved measurements of temperature and wind on remote planets and other important scientific discoveries. With every new Spitzer research activity, CalTech collec
