The purpose of this research effort is to improve the understanding of the origin, evolution, and interrelationships of the asteroids; of their relationships to the meteorites; and of the conditions and processes in the early inner solar system. The surface mineral assemblage and the surface heterogeneity of selected minor planets is determined from analysis of telescopic spectra to provide the data base to accomplish these goals. The analysis of asteroidal visible and near-infrared (VNIR) reflectance spectra compliments meteorite studies as a means of probing the late nebular through the early post-accretionary period of solar system history. To date, essentially all available spectral evidence has strongly indicated that the large S-type asteroids are predominantly thermally evolved, magmatically differentiated bodies.
