3. Observation wavelength and pixel number of the detector are related by the following expression: Wavelength (nm)= 2271.44 - [23.56 × (pixel number)] The observational limit at the long-wavelength end was determined by the cutoff wavelength of the InGaAs photodiode array to be ∼2100 nm. The short-wavelength cutoff is 763.60 nm.

RELAB is a multiuser facility operated under NASA grant NAGS-13609. We thank the mission operations and spacecraft team of the Hayabusa project at ISAS/JAXA for their efforts that resulted in making Hayabusa the first Japanese spacecraft to rendezvous and land at the asteroid; M. Wadhwa, C. Nunez, and T. McCoy for their assistance; and R. Binzel and an anonymous referee for helpful and constructive reviews. Supported by ISAS/JAXA and NASA.
