The LPMA (Limb Profile Monitor of the Atmosphere) instrument is a balloon borne Fourier transform interferometer based on a commercial BOMEM DA2 design. Its present operating capabilities cover the range 2.5 to 14 micrometers using liquid nitrogen cooled HgCdTe or InSb detectors. The maximum optical path difference achievable by the moving mirror is 50 cm leading to the theoretical apodized resolution of 0.020/cm. Technical details in the different subunits of the payload are presented together with their general accommodation into a medium weight gondola (approximately 400 kg). Scientific results of the last successful flights are discussed.
