Kunlun Infrared Sky Survey (KISS): KISS is the first exploration of the time varying Universe in the infrared. The location at Kunlun station offers the advantage of the whole sky being available for study for the duration of the Antarctic winter every year. The primary scientific targets are the physics of active galactic nuclei, supersupernovae (Gamma Ray Bursters), the terminal phases of red giants (Miras) and initial phases of protostars. The project also aims to find exoplanets and to measure the cosmic infrared background and its angular fluctuations using the low background advantage of the Antarctic. KISS is complementary to SkyMapper in that it is infrared, and complementary to 2MASS in that it is time sensitive.

昆仑红外巡天(KISS)：KISS是对红外时变宇宙的首次探索。昆仑站的位置提供了这样的优势：每年南极冬季期间，整个天空都可以进行研究。主要的科学目标是活动星系核、超新星(伽马射线暴)、红巨星的末期(MIRAS)和原恒星的初始阶段的物理学。该项目还旨在发现系外行星，并利用南极的低背景优势测量宇宙红外背景及其角度波动。KISS是SkyMapper的补充，因为它是红外线的，而2MASS的补充是因为它对时间敏感。
