Constellation Orion Infrared Light

A quarter century ago, IRAS gave us this view of the center of the Milky Way in Infrared Light

With modern infrared detectors WISE will survey the entire sky with sensitivity and resolution comparable to the view seen here.

WISE Mission: Flight System A cold 40 cm telescope in Earth orbit Enabled by new megapixel infrared detector arrays By being in space, the 40 cm WISE telescope is as powerful as 6,000 8-meter telescopes on the ground!

Ready to Launch!

WISE Launch Seen from Los Angeles

WISE cover ejected successfully on Dec. 29 th, 2009

WISE is in a 525 km Sun-synchronous orbit

Survey operations Begin this month!

WISE will observe most Main Belt Asteroids larger than 3 km and discover hundreds of Near Earth Objects. IR data will provide accurate diameter estimations.

WISE will find Brown Dwarf stars in the Solar Neighborhood

Known stars within 25 light-years of the Sun

Stars within 25 light- years of the Sun after the WISE survey

WISE will image the entire Galactic Plane

WISE will image all nearby galaxies

2MASS Surveyed Large Scale Structure out to 1.3 Billion Light-years (z ~ 0.1) WISE will survey out to 6.7 Billion Light-years (z ~ 0.5)
