Summary
VIS-NIR reflectance spectroscopy is the major technique used so far to identify mineralogical phases present on the surface of Mars. However, the interpretation of reflectance spectra is subject to a deep understanding of the contest in which the measurements have been acquired. The co-existence of different minerals (Brossard et al. 2016), the temperature (Singer & Roush 1985) and illumination (Mustard & Pieters, 1989) - just to cite few examples - can significantly alter the shape of absorption features of minerals leading to mistakes in the determination of the composition of the site under analysis.
Objectives
The scope of our proposal is to acquire spectra in a realistic Martian-like environment along with ancillary information like temperature and illumination conditions to check the reliability of mineralogical interpretation.
