Abstract :
Superconducting Submillimeter-Wave Limb-Emission Sounder (SMILES) is a sensor for atmospheric observation at 640 GHz from the International Space Station. Since the launch in Sep. 2009, SMILES has been showing the excellent observation performance. The results of SMILES development are summarized.
