First results from SPIRE spectrometer

The picture below shows the first SPIRE interferogram, observed on May 29 using the SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer. This is a result of the first successful tests of the SPIRE spectrometer in space (although currently only viewing the cryostat lid and not yet the sky!).
