Meridian Imaging Svalbard Spectrograph (MISS) assembled.Panel (A) Side view. Panel (B) Top view. (1) Atik 414EX camera head, (2) Nikkor 35 mm objective, (3) Air spaced tunable transmission grating and prism (tGRISM) house, (4) Thorlabs 200 mm collimator lens, (5) Slit tube housing with field lens, and (6) Peleng Fisheye objective.

Scientific objectives
The instrument is a wide field of view hyperspectral pushbroom imager. Its main aim is to measure the night sky spectrum from North to South in the geomagnetic meridian plane to track the aurora. There are no moving mechanical parts in the design. It is a future replacement candidate of the Meridian Scanning Photometers (MSP).
