The sodium sulfide radical NaS has been observed in the laboratory for the first time using millimeter/submillimeter direct absorption spectroscopy. Twelve rotational transitions originating in both the Omega = 1/2 and 3/2 sublevels of this species in its X2 Pi i ground state were recorded in the frequency range 200--400 GHz. Splittings arising from lambda-doubling interactions were resolved in both spin-orbit components and were particularly large (~2.9 GHz) in the Omega = 1/2 substate. The data were analyzed using a 2 Pi Hamiltonian, and rotational, spin-orbit, and lambda-doubling parameters were determined. NaS may be detectable in the late-type star IRC +10216, given the observation of CS, SiS, NaCl, and NaCN in this object.
