  The Spectroscopic Investigation of Nebular Gas (SING) is a near-ultraviolet
(NUV) low-resolution spectrograph payload designed to operate in the NUV range,
1400 $\unicode{x212B}$ -- 2700 $\unicode{x212B}$, from a stable space platform.
SING telescope has a primary aperture of 298 mm, feeding the light to the
long-slit UV spectrograph. SING has a field of view (FOV) of 1$^{\circ}$,
achieving a spatial resolution of 1.33 arc minute and spectral resolution of
3.7 $\unicode{x212B}$ ($R\sim600$) at the central wavelength. SING employs a
micro-channel plate (MCP) with a CMOS readout-based photon-counting detector.
The instrument is designed to observe diffuse sources such as nebulae,
supernova remnants, and the interstellar medium (ISM) to understand their
chemistry. SING was selected by the United Nations Office for Outer Space
Affairs to be hosted on the Chinese Space Station. The instrument will undergo
qualification tests as per the launch requirements. In this paper, we describe
the hardware design, optomechanical assembly, and calibration of the
instrument.
