Scientific paper
The infrared (IR) observations of Venus, Mars, giant planets, and Titan are summarized. In the case of Venus, infrared spectroscopy observations on the night side can provide information on the layers probed in the 2 to 3 micron region. Mars is going to be the major objective of planetary space exploration and many questions about its aeronomy, the stability of its atmosphere and the interactions atmosphere/surface may be answered by means of infrared spectroscopy. In the case of the giant planets, most of the knowledge of their atmospheric composition comes from IR spectroscopy. From the IRIS experiment, the H/He ratio is determined on Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus; these results have important implications upon the evolutionary stage of these planets.
