The chemical composition of interstellar ices and icy planetary bodies of the Solar System are affected by photochemical changes due to ultraviolet irradiation from various sources, including the Sun. The study of these ices reveals important information about the origin and evolution of materials in the Solar System. The research described here is a study of near-infrared (λ = 1.0-2.5μm) and mid-infrared (λ = 2.5-25μm) spectra of ice solids and mixtures during UV photolysis in order to connect the known data from the mid-infrared with the new data from the near-infrared information. We have created thick (10-100μm) UV-photolyzed ices using different methods, which will be described. A new, closed-cell technique that allows UV photolysis within the cell will be described and preliminary results of this technique will be shown. While focus of this work is on materials within the Solar System, it can also be applied to a wider range of spectra, including interstellar materials. This material is based upon work supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant No. NNG05GG95G issued through the Outer Planets Research Program and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant No. NNG05GE80H issued through the Alabama Space Grant Consortium.
