Scientific paper
Herschel is a 3.5 m far infrared space telescope. It is going to be launched in the second half of 2008 and is the next ESA (European Space Agency) cornerstone mission after Rosetta. Herschel provides unique capabilities for submm/THz investigations of the universe, since most of its spectral coverage is not accessible from the Earth due to the strong atmospheric absorption. Herschel science will address star formation, AGB/Post-main sequence stars, the interstellar medium, local, high-redshift and dwarf galaxies, the dusty universe and last not least the solar system. This presentation will give an overview about a Herschel key project dealing with water and related chemistry in the solar system. It addresses the broad topic of water and its isotopologues in planetary and cometary atmospheres with emphasis on the water cycle of Mars and the evolution of its atmosphere, sources of external water in the atmospheres of the Giant planets/moons, and water studies in cometary atmospheres.
