Abstract
⺠We studied composition of near-Earth Asteroid 2008 EV5. ⺠It is potential target for Marco Polo-R and Hayabusa-2 mission proposals. ⺠Composition is similar to a dark carbonaceous chondrite dominated surface. ⺠A weak 0.48-μm spin-forbidden Fe3+ absorption band has been detected. ⺠Most plausible meteorite analog is CI chondrite such as Orgueil.
