Reflectance spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the investigation of the nature, history, evolution, and relationships between asteroids and meteorites. This information provides a better understanding of the conditions present and processes active in the late solar nebula and the early solar system. To achieve the maximum information about asteroid-meteorite relationships and asteroid histories, mineralogical characterizations should be derived from their reflectance spectra using quantitative methodologies and calibrations. Spectral curve matching is a very useful survey technique but can seldom establish reliable asteroid-meteorite links. Mineralogical characterizations can be used to constrain the geochemical evolution of specific asteroids, to elucidate relationships to other asteroids, and to establish genetic links to specific meteorite types.
