We provide an overview of the design and capabilities near-infrared spectrograph (NIRSpec) onboard James Webb Space Telescope. NIRSpec is designed to be capable carrying out low-resolution ($R\!=30\!-330$) prism spectroscopy over wavelength range $0.6-5.3\!~\mu$m higher resolution ($R\!=500\!-1340$ or $R\!=1320\!-3600$) grating $0.7-5.2\!~\mu$m, both in single-object mode employing any one five fixed slits, a 3.1$\times$3.2 arcsec$^2$ integral field unit, multiobject novel programmable...
The main scientific goal of Solar Orbiter is to address the central question heliophysics: ‘how does Sun create and control heliosphere?’ To achieve this goal, spacecraft carries a unique combination ten instruments (six remote-sensing four in-situ instruments) towards innermost regions System, as close 0.28 AU from during segments its orbit. orbital inclination will be progressively increased so that reaches higher solar latitudes (up 34° end mission), making detailed studies polar possible...
Ariel, part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Cosmic Vision science program, is an innovative medium-class mission designed for atmospheric remote sensing exoplanets. It first solely dedicated to investigating atmospheres more than 500 transiting exoplanets, ranging from gas giants super-Earths, using a combination transit photometry and spectroscopy. The mission's primary goal analyze these exoplanets' chemical composition thermal structures, paving way large-scale, comparative...
