Interstellar Medium Absorption Profile Spectrograph

(IMAPS)
(1980s/1990s UV spectrometer)

Interstellar Medium Absorption Profile Spectrograph (IMAPS) was an instrument included in the Space Shuttle ORFEUS SPAS science package utilized on two science missions, ORFEUS-SPAS 1 in 1993 and ORFEUS-SPAS 2 in 1996. IMAPS was also utilized during three 1980s sounding rocket missions. IMAPS's spectral resolution ranged up to 240,000.
