The miniaturized near-infrared hyperspectral microscope MicrOmega, on board the MASCOT lander for Hayabusa-2 mission, is designed to perform in situ measurements at the grain scale of the C-type asteroid 1999 JU3 RYUGU. MicrOmega will observe samples with a field of view of a few millimeters with a spatial sampling of 25 pm and acquire near-infrared spectra by illuminating the sample sequentially with different wavelengths from 0.99 to 3.55 pm over two spectral channels with a typical spectral sampling of 20 cm(-1). The on-ground calibration of MicrOmega requfres a full characterization of the nominal range of operation of the instrument, both spectral (0.99-3.55 mu m) and thermal (-40 degrees C to +40 degrees C) to derive the radiometric and spectral responses combined into a 4D transfer function to convert raw signal to calibrated reflectance. This specific 4D radiometric reference gives the instrument response according to the pixel location (x,y), the wavelength and the instrument temperature. This paper reports the complex computation of the 4D radiometric reference for the 0.9-2.5 mu m channel. In this. spectral range, the composition of the grains of a wide variety of minerals with relevance to solar system bodies can be identified through diagnostic spectral features: mafic (pyroxene, olivine ...) as well as hydrated and altered minerals that are key phases for the solar system bodies' exploration.
