A sample performance of the grille spectrometer aboard Spacelab
Abstract
Preliminary results of the grille spectrometer flown on the Spacelab One mission intend only to show the quality of the obtained spectral data. Among ten trace species observed in the atmosphere, methane was chosen for the spectacular aspect of Q branch of the intense upsilon 3 band. Other molecules, as well as the atmospheric significance of the results, will be discussed elsewhere.
