Mid-infrared spectroscopic capabilities, conceptual design, and estimated performances are described. We have low resolution spectroscopic capability as part of the wide field camera, medium resolution spectroscopic capability with image slicer based IFU, and high resolution spectroscopic capability based on immersion grating. Estimated noise equivalent flux for a point source with medium resolution is 150 μ Jy / 700 μ Jy for 10 to 19 μm / 19 to 35 μm respectively.
