Abstract
VNIR, a Visible Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer, was developed at I FSI-CNR and it is the visible channel of an experiment, named OMEGA, t o be flown on the Russian Mars 94 mission, that will provide detailed mineralogical and chemical maps of the Mars surface. We have tested an d calibrated the instrument in our laboratory, using it to take images and spectra of meteorites and terrestrial rocks. In the present work a description of the camera with some preliminary results of this acti vity are given.
