Spectral properties of the MASCOT landing area from the NIRS3 transects in Fig. 5. (a) Reflectance at 2.0 µm along the transects, (b) Near-IR spectral slope along the transects, (c) Depth of the 2.72 µm band along the transects, (d) Spectra associated with footprints that cover the landing site, marked as green in Fig. 5. The dotted line in panels a–c indicates the latitude of the landing site.
