NIRPS [ESO] (Near Infra Red Planet Searcher) is a new (fast-track instrument) high resolution spectrograph working at near-infrared bands, that is being designed for the ESO 3.6-m telescope (La Silla-Paranal Observtory). NIRPS will work together with the existing HARPS spectrograph, allowing us to obtain simultaneous optical and near-IR spectra of stars. The major goal of NIRPS is to detect and characterize planets orbiting late type stars. The NIRPS consortium includes a strong participation from IA, including in the development of hardware and software (the Atmospheric Dispersion Correctors – ADC), and in the definition of the scientific activities.
