Scientific paper

The SPectral IMaging (SPIM) facility is a laboratory set-up that has been developed to support remote sensing observations of Solar System bodies. In particular, the SPIM facility will be extensively used to support the DAWN mission[1], now approaching Vesta. The core of SPIM is a spectrometer that is a replica of the Visible InfraRed imaging spectrometer (VIR) [2], onboard the DAWN spacecraft. The SPIM spectrometer has been assembled and calibrated at Selex Galileo (SG) and then installed in the facility in the INAF-IFSI laboratory in Rome. SPIM has two goals: collect data to prepare a data-base of reflectance spectra for the interpretation of the space borne measurements; functional tests to simulate VIR operative conditions during the mission.
