For more than a decade, spaceborne Fourier transform spectrometers have been employed in investigations concerning the earth and other objects in the solar system. The wide spectral range at moderately high spectral resolution, the precise wavenumber and radiometric calibrations, and the reliability achieved by these instruments, have permitted scientific investigations which would otherwise have been impossible. Weight limitations and the long flight durations prohibited the use of highly sensitive, cryogenically cooled detectors on these missions. A brief review is presented of the evolution of the instruments known as IRIS (InfraRed Interferometric Spectrometer). The concept of remote sensing by infrared emission spectroscopy is discussed, and examples of results obtained with IRIS are presented. Attention is given to the most recent results from Voyager with emphasis on those from Titan.
