Studying meteorites is a pivotal topic in planetary sciences since they represent the only material evidence available on Earth, except from specimens collected in SRMs, to investigate the origin and the evolution of the Solar System bodies. Meteorites may contain presolar grains, organic matter, and exotic minerals – the latter formed during the long history of impact processes. The comparison of meteorite spectral features with those of asteroids then allows to match the diverse meteorite classes and groups with the different asteroid families.
