Abstract
A newly developed balloon gondola with 12 in. telescope has been flown a number of times in 1970 and 1971 making far-infrared observations of celestical sources. These include the planets Jupiter and Venus, the galactic center, a number of bright H π regions, and some dark dust clouds. The technical aspects of the balloon gondola and telescope system and some of these results will be discussed.
