Abstract

Several observational programmes were conducted with ISO (Kessler et al., 1996) aiming at the investigation of the near- and far- infrared spectrum of the satellites of the giant planets. Thus, Jupiter's satellites Callisto, Io and Ganymede were explored mainly with the spectrometers, while the spectrum of Titan, Saturn's largest satellite, was investigated thoroughly by all the instruments. The analysis of the data has provided original and precious information on the satellites' surfaces and Titan's atmosphere in particular.
