The NIRS-3, a near-infrared spectrometer that will benefit the heritage of NIRS on Hayabusa, has been proposed to characterize the mineralogical composition of asteroid surfaces in Hayabusa-2. The Hayabusa-2 mission aims to return samples of a C-class asteroid, on which hydrated minerals are often present and provide spectral features to determine compositions. Particularly diagnostic absorption features due to hydrated minerals appear in the 3-micron region. Thus the NIRS-3 focuses on 3-micron observations of the target asteroid, which will provide information for the selection and characterization of sampling sites and information concerning the composition and thermal evolution of the asteroid. We present the instrument design and expected performance of NIRS-3.
