Scientific paper

Detailed spectra of the individual members of the Pluto-Charon system are not known. Different surface compositions are suggested by some evidence obtained when the two were undergoing mutual eclipses. Grism spectrophotometry will provide a direct comparison of the surface materials of each member of the double planet. Dispersion should be approximately normal to a line joining Pluto and Charon, and observations should be made in four separate orbital positions in order to differentiate surface variations on the two objects. Charon's leading {in Charon's orbital direction}, trailing, Pluto-facing and non-Pluto-facing hemispheres will be observed.
