Scientific paper

Io's surface composition is still poorly understood: SO_2 is the only definitively identified component. We plan to obtain a global multispectral map of Io in 12 mostly narrowband filters from 0.22 to 0.79 microns, to obtain the most detailed picture yet of the composition and spatial distribution of its many surface units. The many wavelengths will allow much better determination of unit spectra than previous broadband imaging, which should lead to more definitive compositional identifications. We are particularly interested in the composition of the polar regions, and the spectrally unusual deposits of the Pele volcano, first noted in our Cycle 4 HST images of Io, which may be rich in S_2O or Na_2S.
