The principal features of the IRAS Faint Source Survey (FSS), a new product resulting from the extended IRAS mission, are reviewed. The FSS has achieved an increase in sensitivity of about a factor of 2.5 relative to the IRAS Point Source Catalog by coadding the data before extracting sources. The FSS was produced by point-source filtering the individual detector data streams and then coadding the data streams using a trimmed-average algorithm. The discussion covers FSS production methods; reliability, completeness, and positional accuracy of the FSS; and FSS view of the IR sky.
