Scientific paper

The submillimeter spectra of planetary atmospheres are reviewed to define atmospheric parameters that could be extracted from observations with the ESA Far Infrared Submillimeter Space Telescope (FIRST) facility. A feasibility study shows that each of the three focal instruments planned on FIRST could provide useful information: the imaging photometer could allow measurements of He/H2 ratio in the 4 giant planets, the high resolution spectrometer could give access to vertical distribution of a number of minor atmospheric species and allow detection of new molecules in the atmosphere of the giant planets. The superheterodyne instrument would be of great interest for the study of Titan's atmosphere.
