The capability of the facsimile camera augmented with a filter-spectrometer to provide scientifically valuable information in the 1.0 to 2.7 microns spectral range was investigated for a future planetary lander mission to Mars. A computer model was used to evaluate tradeoffs between signal-to-noise ratio, spatial and spectral resolution, and the number of spectral channels. Spectral absorption features resulting from water and chemical variations found in pyroxenes were used to represent scientific information of interest to biologists and geologists. Expected output data from a filter-spectrometer is illustrated which indicates that important information pertaining to water content and chemical composition can be obtained using six to eight spectral channels with 0.3 degree spatial resolution.
