Abstract
The main goal of the grille spectrometer experiment [1] operated during the Spacelab One Mission was to measure trace constituents in the low thermosphere and mesophere [2]. The use of the sun as a source during sunset or sunrise leads to a large signal to noise ratio and allows the detection of very low concentrations of absorbing molecules due to the limb scanning geometry.
