IThe Japanese satellite-borne infrared telescope, the Infrared Telescope in Space (IRTS), surveyed about 7 per-cent of the entire sky in the infrared wavelengths from 1.4 to 700 um. The IRTS consists of a 15 cm telescope cooled with superfluid liquid helium, and is installed on board the Space Flyer Unit (SFU) spacecraft. The SFU was launched on 1995 March 18 UT. The sky survey by the IRTS started on March 29 UT, and was completed on April 25 UT after exhausting its liquid helium. The four focal-plane instruments were on board.
The Mid-Infrared Spectrometer (MIRS) covered 4.5 to 11.7 um by 32 spectral channels with the resolution of Δλ = 0.23-0.36 um. The MIRS point source catalog contains spectra of 536 sources. Many of the detected sources are mas-losing stars. A few HII regions and one asteroid 01 Ceres are included.

The Near-Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS) covered 1.4 to 4.0 μm by 24 spectral channels with the resolution of Δλ = 0.13 μm. The complete level of the catalog is 10?20 Jy for the entire wavelength range. The NIRS point source catalog contains spectra of 14,223 sources in which 4,002 sources are in good quality. Late-type stars, normal stars, and other red objects are included.
SAGA -Stellar Abundances for Galactic Archeology Database-

Description:
We describe the construction of a database of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars
in the Galactic halo whose elemental abundances have been determined. Our
database contains detailed elemental abundances, reported equivalent widths,
atmospheric parameters, photometry, and binarity status, compiled from papers in
the recent literature that report studies of EMP halo stars with [Fe/H] <
-2.5. The compilation procedures for this database have been designed to
assemble the data effectively from electronic tables available from online
journals. We have also developed a data retrieval system that enables data
searches by various criteria, and permits the user to explore relationships
between the stored variables graphically. Currently, our sample includes 1212
unique stars (many of which are studied by more than one group) with more than
15000 individual reported elemental abundances, covering all of the relevant
papers published by December 2007. We discuss the global characteristics of the
present database, as revealed by the EMP stars observed to date. For stars with
[Fe/H] < -2.5, the number of giants with reported abundances is larger than
that of dwarfs by a factor of two. The fraction of carbon-rich stars (among the
sample for which the carbon abundance is reported) amount to ~30 % for [Fe/H]
< -2.5. We find that known binaries exhibit different distributions of
orbital period, according to whether they are giants or dwarfs, and also as a
function of metallicity, although the total sample of such stars is still quite
small.
MOIRCS (Multi-Object InfraRed Camera and Spectrograph) provides wide-field imaging and long-slit / multi-object (MOS) spectroscopic capabilities in the 0.9 ~ 2.5 µm spectral range under the natural seeing condition. The 4'?~7' field of view is covered by two Hawaii-2 2048?~2048 arrays with the spatial resolution of 0.117 arcsec/pixel.
The Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS) is a major new multi-wavelength survey of a ~1.3 square degree region of sky. The SXDS optical imagery represents an unprecedented combination of depth and area coverage, and will be combined with suitably deep images at other wavelengths to provide an accurate census of the contents of the Universe without suffering from the biasing effects of large-scale structure.

Description:
A significant fraction of the mission time of VSOP was to be dedicated to the VSOP Survey Programme of bright compact Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) at 5 GHz, which was lead by ISAS. The VSOP Survey Sources are an unbiased dataset of 294 targets, of which 82% were successfully observed.
