To establish a novel spectroscopic method to acquire high-resolution rotational spectra of molecular ions under isolated conditions in a cryogenic ion trap instrument. Complementary data on their vibrational spectra will be obtained using the FELIX infrared free electron lasers. In this way, the spectroscopic fingerprints of a large class of astrophysically important ionic species will be obtained, providing the necessary data for their identification in space.
