- Abstract
We present the current design and status of the Super Nova Acceleration Probe (SNAP) concept for the NASA JDEM mission on dark energy. SNAP will provide key data on darke energy theories by observing supernovae to redshifts of 1.7, observations of cosmic shear over wide fields of view as well as observations of galaxy clusters as well as other observational constraints. In this presentation we will focus of the integral field spectrograph for the SNAP proposal for JDEM. The spectrograph is designed to provide needed spectroscopy for the SNAP Supernova Program ( Type Ia SN ID and spectrophotometry), for the SNAP Weak Lensing Program (photo-z calibration) and for the SNAP fundamental Calibration Program ( 1-2
