Stratospheric THz Observatory (STO) Finder’s Scope for SOFIA : UAz, APL, CIT/JPL, KOSMA: - 0.8-meter telescope with two - 4-pixel THz arrays - platform for THz surveys Fundamental Goals: 1. Determine the life cycle of Galactic interstellar gas. 2. Study the creation and disruption of star forming clouds in the Galaxy. 3. Determine the parameters that affect the star formation rate in a galaxy. 4. Provide templates for star formation and stellar/interstellar feedback in other galaxies.
