AB Narrow-band spectrophotometry programsfor the study of asteroids were initiated in the1960s [1,2], which were able to identify clear absorptionbands in the UV and visible, that were used lateron in order to develop the first asteroid taxonomy [3].A step forward was to remotely obtain reflectancespectra of asteroids to establish the existence of families[4, 5, 6], and to place meteorites broadly withinthese families based on their own spectra. This approachis imperfect due to space weathering, that togetherwith the presence of regolith, intrinsic roughness,etc., alters the reflectance spectra to be comparedwith spectra of meteorites in our laboratories. Currentlythere are several comprehensive spectral catalogueof meteorites [7-8], but we wish to explore thecapacities of current spectrographs to obtain reflectivitiesin those extreme regions of the electromagneticspectrum where data is poor (typically below 0.4 micronsand over 2.4 microns). Additionally we wish toexplore the importance of roughness as the reason forthe diverse mineralogy observed for S-class asteroidsthat are linked to the ordinary chondrites [9].
