N1 - ExoMars is a joint space mission of European Space Agency and Roscosmos. ISEM development is funded by Roscosmos (contract numbers 025-8119/13/425 and 025-8119/16/101). N.E., A.A.F., and A.Y.T. acknowledge support from the Russian Science Foundation (grant number RSF 16-
12-10453), which enabled assessment of measurement characteristics of the instrument and the associated modeling. Other coauthors affiliated with IKI acknowledge FANO funding, contract PLANETA 0028-2014-0004. We are grateful to P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences for the use of Bruker Fourier spectrometer facility. E.A.C. thanks the Canadian Space Agency, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Manitoba Research Innovation Fund, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and the University of Winnipeg for supporting the establishment and operation of the Planetary Spectrophotometer Facility at the University of Winnipeg. Development and manufacture of the calibration target are carried out in collaboration with the PanCam instrument team and funded by the UK Space Agency, grant numbers ST/L001454/1, ST/N003349/1 and ST/N006410/1.
We thank Dr. Helen Miles for rendering the graphics in Figure 1. We thank Manish Patel and an anonymous reviewer, whose comments helped to improve this article. We also express our sincere gratitude to the space agencies,
countries, companies, and project teams working to make the ExoMars mission possible.

N2 - ISEM (Infrared Spectrometer for ExoMars) is a pencil-beam infrared spectrometer that will measure reflected solar radiation in the near infrared range for context assessment of the surface mineralogy in the vicinity of the ExoMars rover. The instrument will be accommodated on the mast of the rover and will be operated together with the panoramic camera (PanCam), high-resolution camera (HRC). ISEM will study the mineralogical and petrographic composition of the martian surface in the vicinity of the rover, and in combination with the other remote sensing instruments, it will aid in the selection of potential targets for close-up investigations and drilling sites. Of particular scientific interest are water-bearing minerals, such as phyllosilicates, sulfates, carbonates, and minerals indicative of astrobiological potential, such as borates, nitrates, and ammonium-bearing minerals. The instrument has an ∼1° field of view and covers the spectral range between 1.15 and 3.30 μm with a spectral resolution varying from 3.3 nm at 1.15 μm to 28 nm at 3.30 μm. The ISEM optical head is mounted on the mast, and its electronics box is located inside the rover's body. The spectrometer uses an acousto-optic tunable filter and a Peltier-cooled InAs detector. The mass of ISEM is 1.74 kg, including the electronics and harness. The science objectives of the experiment, the instrument design, and operational scenarios are described.
