Abstract

The rocket experiments were carried out to observe cosmic background radiation in both of near-infrared and submillimeter regions. In near-infrared region, a considerable amount of isotropic radiation was found at 2µm, which is possibly attributed to the cosmological origin. In submillimeter region, absolute measurement of the cosmic background radiation below 1mm was attained and a significant deviation from the blackbody spectrum of a single temperature was found. Possible origin of these two cosmic components is discussed.
