Three instruments were mounted on the focal plane, with which it was possible to obtain broadband images and carry out high-resolution spectroscopic measurements: the PACS spectrometer, the SPIRE spectrometer and the HIFI detection system.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The lift-off of Herschel happened in May 2009, along with the satellite Planck. After the launch, the two satellites separated to reach the L2 Lagrange point, 1.5 million km away from Earth, where they carried out the respective observation programmes<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Herschel was the ESA first astronomic space observatory for astronomic observations in the submillimetre and far infrared range.
