The Near Infra Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS) is a high-resolution echelle planet-finding spectrograph installed in 2022 on the ESO's 3.6m telescope at La Silla Observatory in Chile. Its first light was achieved in May 2022.

Montage of the HARPS spectrograph and the 3.6m telescope at La Silla. The upper left shows the dome of the telescope, while the upper right illustrates the telescope itself. The HARPS spectrograph is shown in the lower image during laboratory tests. The vacuum tank is open so that some of the high-precision components inside can be seen
