Inhaltsangabe

This publication, “Making the Invisible Visible: A History of the Spitzer Infrared Telescope Facility (1971-2003),” makes visible the invisible forces that influenced the design of Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF’s) innovative technology. The lessons learned by the project team over the course of building SIRTF, now better known as the Spitzer Space Telescope, are about managing innovation over time and in the face of uncertainty. These are universal lessons, applicable to any project whose stakeholders control the necessary resources. SIRTF’s stakeholders focused on a variety of issues: technical, scientific, political, and economic, as well as organizational needs and goals. What made SIRTF’s evolution particularly difficult was that the stakeholders changed over time—in their composition, goals, and influence.
