FLITECAM was an infrared camera operating in the 1.0 - 5.5 um waveband. It consisted of a 1024x1024 InSb detector with 0.475"x0.475" pixels and used refractive optics to provide an 8' diameter field of view. The instrument had a set of filters for imaging, and grisms for moderate resolution spectroscopy. The filter suite consisted of standard Barr filters used for imaging at J, H, K, L and M in one filter wheel. A second filter wheel held a selection of narrow-band imaging filters including Pa-alpha, Pa-alpha continuum, 3.07 um H2O ice, 3.3 um PAH, L-narrow and M-narrow. Additionally there were order sorting filters for use with the grisms. A selection of three grisms was available to provide medium resolution (R ~ 1500) spectra over the entire wavelength range.

FORCAST was a dual-channel mid-infrared camera and spectrograph sensitive from 5 - 40 um. Spectroscopy was also possible using a suite of grisms, which provided coverage from 5 - 40 um with a low spectral resolution of R ~ 200.

FPI+ was the standard tracking camera for the SOFIA telescope with a 1024x1024 pixel science grade CCD sensor. As a science instrument it was intended to be used as a fast frame-rate imaging photometer in the 360 - 1100 nm wavelength range. The FPI+ CCD had a plate scale of 0.51 arcsec/pixel and a square field of view of 8.7x8.7 arcminutes. Its permanent installation on the SOFIA telescope allowed for its use while any other science instrument was installed on the main Science Instrument flange. Five Sloan Digital Sky Survey filters u', g', r', i', z' and a Schott RG1000 NIR cut on filter were available.
The German REceiver for Astronomy at Terahertz Frequencies (GREAT) was a modular heterodyne instrument with multiple configurations that provided high-resolution spectra (up to R = 1e8) in several frequency windows between 0.4900-4.7448 THz.
HAWC+ was a far-infrared camera and imaging polarimeter. It was designed to allow total and polarized flux imaging in five broad bands between wavelengths of 50 um and 240 um. Diffraction-limited imaging yielded spatial resolutions of ~5 - 20 arcseconds with fields of view ~2 - 10 arcminutes, respectively.
The Spitzer IRAC Equatorial Survey (SpIES) is a large-area survey of 115 sq. degrees in the Equatorial SDSS Stripe 82 field. SpIES achieves 5 sigma depths of 6.13 microJy (21.93 AB magnitude) and 5.75 microJy (22.0 AB magnitude) at 3.6 and 4.5 microns, respectively.
The 3.6 micron catalog contains the 6.1 million sources that are only detected at 3.6 microns, the 4.5 micron catalog contains the 6.4 million sources that are only detected at 4.5 microns, and the Dual-band catalog contains the 5.4 million sources that are detected in both bands.
