The coupling between imaging and spectrometry has proved to be one of the most promising way to study remotely planetary objects [1][2]. The next step is to use this concept for in situ analyses. MicrOmega IR has been developed within this scope in the framework of the Exomars mission (Pasteur paylaod). It is an ultra miniaturized nearinfrared hyperspectral microscope dedicated to in situ analyses, with the goal to characterize the composition of Mars soil at almost its grain size scale, in a non destructive way. It will provide unique clues to trace back the history of Mars, and will contribute to assess Mars past and present astrobiological potential by detecting possible organic compounds within the samples. Results obtained on ground both on a representative breadboard of the instrument and with a demonstrator developed in the scope of the Phobos Grunt mission will be presented during the conference to demonstrate the instrument capabilities.
