This archival proposal is part of a program to obtain new and analyze existing ultraviolet spectra of asteroids, in order to look for characteristics of space weathering in a wavelength range that has been shown to be extremely sensitive to weathering processes. We discuss recent results from the Moon, lunar samples and Vesta that show that the ultraviolet-visible wavelength region may exhibit a relatively blue spectral shape, and in some cases may exhibit a spectral reversal in response to space weathering. Analysis of asteroid spectra at ultraviolet wavelengths is key to furthering our understanding of space weathering and solar system surfaces. Here we propose to analyze the HST and IUE spectra of asteroids that exist in the MAST archive, to look for and better understand the effects of space weathering at UV wavelengths.
