Scientific paper

Examples of the role which molecular spectroscopy played in the interpretation of the thermal emission spectra of Earth, Mars, and Jupiter are given. Some advantages of molecular spectroscopy from a spacecraft passing close to a planet, or from an orbiter, over ground based techniques are discussed. Specifically the possibility of obtaining spectra over a wide spectral range (1) without the obscuring effect of Earth's atmosphere, (2) at much higher spatial resolution, and (3) from directions and with phase angles inaccessible from Earth.
