The Renazzo meteorite

Summary An imaging spectrometer developed for a space mission (Mars 94) is being used to study meteorites with solar illumination. It is shown that for a carbonaceous chondrite like the Renazzo meteorite it is possible to study also the internal composition of large chondrules, by making use of all the information of the image cube obtained. Inside chondrules, 3 typical materials are identified. Paper presented at the 6th Cosmic Physics National Conference, Palermo, 3–7 November 1992.
