Abstract
NOMAD is a spectrometer suite on board ESA’s ExoMars trace gas orbiter due for launch in January 2016.
NOMAD consists of two infrared channels and one ultraviolet and visible channel allowing the instrument
to perform observations quasi-constantly, by taking nadir measurements at dayside and nightside, and during
solar occultations. In this paper, the design, manufacturing, and testing of the two infrared channels are described.
We focus upon the optical working principle in these channels, where an echelle grating, used as a diffractive
element, is combined with an acousto-optical tunable filter, used as a diffraction order sorter
