The Mid-Infrared Spectrometer (MIRS) is one of the four focal plane instruments on the Infrared Telescope in Space (IRTS) mission. The instrument has been constructed, tested, and calibrated in the laboratory and is presently scheduled to be launched by a Japanese expendable launch vehicle as part of the Space Flyer Unit-1 mission in early 1995. The wavelength coverage of the MIRS ranges from 4.5 to 11.7 microns, with a spectral resolution of 0.23 to 0.36 microns. With the cryogenically cooled optics of the IRTS telescope assembly, the MIRS will be able to make an extremely sensitive survey of both point-source and extended objects over an estimated 10% of the sky.
