SPIRE is one of three instruments to be carried on the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory (formerly called FIRST). We are describing the instrument which is designed for observations at far infrared and submillimetre wavelengths and its scientific potential. SPIRE features an imaging photometer with passbands around 250, 350 and 500 microns, and an imaging Fourier transform spectrometer covering the wavelength range between 194 and 672 microns. The instrument is being developed by a consortium of European and American scientists, led by PI Professor Matt Griffin at the Physics and Astronomy Department of Cardiff University (UK). The US is playing a crucial role in SPIRE by delivering its detector arrays, consisting of so-called "Spider Web Bolometers" developed by SPIRE Co-I Jamie Bock at JPL.
