Scientific paper

The Echelon-cross-Echelle Spectrograph (EXES) is one of the first generation instruments for SOFIA. It provides high, medium, and low spectral resolution in the wavelength region 4.5 to 28.3 microns using a 1024x1024 detector array. With the improved atmospheric transmission afforded by SOFIA, EXES will acquire truly unique data with its high spectral reosolution; data that cannot be replicated by any other ground or space-based mission currently available or planned. EXES has recently moved to NASA Ames Research Center where it will be completed by a team mostly from UC Davis and NASA Ames. We are currently involved with system testing. Our schedule includes two ground-based telescope runs to thoroughly debug the system before our first flights on SOFIA in 2013.
