An absorption band centered at 280~nm appears in the spectrum of Callisto's leading hemisphere, but is not apparent in the spectrum of the trailing hemisphere. The band is similar to the \SOtwo\ band on Europa's trailing hemisphere. Callisto's leading hemisphere spectrum can be well fit with models that include \SOtwo\ ice absorption with N(\SOtwo )$ \ge 6 \x 10^{16}$ \sqcm. Callisto's leading hemisphere is modified by impacts with micrometeorites; this may directly or indirectly be a source of sulfur dioxide.}
