The James Webb Space Telescope combines a 6.5-metre aperture with stable near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy. Its instruments measure transit, eclipse, and phase-curve spectra across multiple molecular bands.
The NIRISS single-object slitless spectroscopy mode measures time-series spectra from to . It supports exoplanet transmission spectra and eclipse observations, as described in the instrument guide.
NIRSpec provides multiple spectroscopic modes within –. Its time-series modes can measure exoplanet transmission spectra and exoplanet secondary eclipses; individual settings have narrower coverage. See NASA's instrument overview.
MIRI's low-resolution spectroscopy includes a slitless time-series mode for exoplanet observations. Its useful coverage includes the – region, with longer-wavelength limits dependent on calibration and sensitivity. See the instrument guide.
