NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROMETER Spectrometer -130200 The Near-Infrared Spectrometer is a spectrometer on the Hayabusa spacecraft. NIRS is composed of a grating infrared spectrometer (N1RS-S), a spectrometer electronics (NIRS-E) and a data processing unit to control NIRS, which is also used to operate the Hayabusa XRS. During the course of the missoin NIRS examined the asteroid's spectral features in the near infrared region of the spectrum during the mission.
