Abstract
⺠We conducted observations of Asteroid 1996 FG3 from the NASA IRTF. ⺠Absorptions attributed to OH in minerals seen on multiple nights. ⺠Absorptions consistent with what is seen on main-belt C asteroids. ⺠Existence of OH in minerals constrains heating seen at current surface. ⺠Fresh material likely available on FG3's surface for sampling missions.
