The Short-Wavelength Spectrometer(SWS) is one of the four instruments on-board of ESA’s Infrared Space Observatory(ISO), launched on 15 Nov. 1995. It covers the wave-length range of 2.38-45.2μm with a spectral resolution ranging from 1000-2000. An overview is given of the in-orbit performance and a summary of the main scientific results and discoveries obtained in the first 18 months of operation of the ISO-SWS.
