The JMAPS satellite mission plans to perform an astrometric survey of the sky, providing positions with an accuracy of 1 mas for stars brighter than Ic=14. As part of this mission, low resolution optical (450-900 nm) spectroscopy is included. To determine an appropriate dispersion, we have used the well-known Kurucz models and fluxes (Castelli and Munari 2001, A&A, 366, 1003). We have determined that a dispersion of between 10 and 20 nm/pixel should allow us to perform dwarf/giant and Pop I/ Pop II classification for stars with Ic=12 or brighter. Results of this analysis, including signal-to-noise calculations, will be discussed.
