Mapping Spectrometer: VIR

VIR experiment is a compact imaging spectrometer housing two data channels in the same optical head . It is made of 2 modules•Optical head•Electronics box

VIR will allow to perform spectroscopic measurements of the Vesta and Ceres surface in the range 0.35-5.01 um were most signatures of rock-forming minerals are present

Hubble images of Ceres in January 2004

• Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) High Resolution Channel (HRC)

• Filters: F220W, F330W, F555W

• Sub-sampled (dithered) images were drizzled to enhance resolution

• Color composite images: F330W+F555W

• Movies made from lower-resolution images (full phase coverage)
