Abstract
We present spectroscopy of the molecular shock in the supernova remnan t IC 443. The H-2 level populations in IC 443 are nearly identical to Orion Peak 1 (Brand et al. 1988; Parmar et al. 1994) and are consisten t with a partially dissociative J-shock. The similarity with Orion sug gests the shock processes which dominate the emission in both regions are essentially identical.
