Design and performance features of the Imaging Spectrometric Observatory (ISO) first flown on Spacelab 1 for atmospheric, earth surface and stellar monitoring are outlined. The ISO has five grating spectrometers fitted with CCD arrays for simultaneously gathering spectral and spatial data. The instrument covered the 300-12,700 A range on the Spacelab 1 flight, when it was mounted on a pallet and used for atmospheric scans at high solar zenith angles. A future mission is planned which will include limb-viewing of OH, NO, ClO and NO2 radicals in the middle atmosphere to complement the data collected in the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite program. Technical details are presented of the instrument components and ground- and balloon-borne test results.
