Abstract
We investigate the ability of the Space Infrared Telescope Facility's Infrared Array Camera to detect distant (z~3) galaxies and measure their photometric redshifts. Our analysis shows that changing the original long‐wavelength filter specifications provides significant improvements in performance in this and other areas.Keywords
