SiS has been conclusively detected toward Orion-KL via its J = 6 - 5 and J = 5 - 4 rotational transitions at 91 and 109 GHz. Line profiles indicate that SiS is associated with the moderate velocity outflow (V ≡ 18 km s-1) centered on IRc2 and observed in thermal SiO, the NH3 "plateau", and OH, H2O, and SiO masers. An SiO/SiS ratio of ≡60 is estimated for the outflow material, remarkably close to the cosmic O/S ratio of ≡40 and contrasting with the SiO/SiS value of ⪆103 predicted by ion-molecule models. In addition to SiS, some twenty new unidentified lines near 91 and 109 GHz were detected toward KL.
