The satellite IRAS (see Neugebauer et al. 1984; see also Gautier and Hauser, this volume) was in operation from January 27 until November 22, 1983. Its main goals were to carry out a survey of the sky at 12, 25, 60, and 100 micron and to make observations around selected positions achieving higher sensitivity or better angular resolution than provided in the survey. Among the very first targets of these pointed observations was the Andromeda galaxy, M31, because it was considered of prime importance and was about to leave the observing window. Here we report briefly on crude maps made from the first measurements. A more elaborate presentation may be found in Habing et al. (1984) and a publication of all the data on M31 is planned for the future.
