It was operated at altitudes of around 13 km, where observation conditions are better than on the ground. A large reflector telescope was installed in the fuselage of a Boeing 747. Compared to satellite-borne observatories, SOFIA's observation instruments could be easily replaced and were directly accessible to scientists in flight. Construction and commissioning of the observatory lasted from 1999 to 2014, with observation operations continuing until 2022. The lecture presents the technology and history of the SOFIA project.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German[[BR]]Slides: English[[BR]]Questions: German, English ||27 || '''17.03.2025''' || '''Jörg F.
