The advent of array detectors sensitive in the near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum promises to revolutionize astronomical observations in this wavelength interval. A consortium of universities has, with non-federal funds, undertaken a development program for such detectors in cooperation with Rockwell. this award provides support for Dr. Hereld to lead the test and evaluation of the Rockwell detectors, and to use these detectors in a research program to search for very young galaxies.

在电磁波谱的近红外区域敏感的阵列探测器的出现有望彻底改变这个波长区间的天文观测。一个由多所大学组成的财团利用非联邦基金，与罗克韦尔公司合作开展了一项研制这种探测器的计划。该奖项为Hereld博士提供支持，以领导罗克韦尔探测器的测试和评估，并在一个研究项目中使用这些探测器来寻找非常年轻的星系。
