Scientific paper
The history of spectroscopic astronomical observations in the IR is briefly reviewed, and the scientific goals of future observations are outlined, with a focus on the potential contribution of the IR Space Observatory (ISO), scheduled for launch in 1993. The value of low-, medium-, and high-resolution spectra is discussed; the limitations imposed by the earth atmosphere are explained; and the ISO instruments (short-wavelength spectrometer, long-wavelength spectrometer, camera, circularly variable filter wheels, and photometer) are described. Observational objectives include studies of asteroids, planetary satellites (especially Titan), the Pluto-Charon system, comets, the giant planets, the nature of the ISM, ISM shocks, star-formation regions, interstellar dust, and the activity and structure of other galaxies.
