Are you a small bodies researcher with ground-based telescopic data or derived data that could benefit the community? Do you have lab data on characteristics of minerals or ices? Are you writing a proposal for a project which will result in archivable small bodies data? The Planetary Data System Small Bodies Node (SBN) invites you to submit your data for archiving.
Archiving your data in PDS is a valuable public service. It also meets the goals outlined in NASA’s “Plan: Increasing Access to the Results of Scientific Research”
It makes your data available to current researchers as well as allowing it to be curated for the use of researchers many decades in the future. Data sets archived in SBN also receive a citation
as a peer-reviewed publication which is listed in ADS and can be cited when researchers use your data.
The SBN (http://pdssbn.astro.umd.edu) is the node of PDS responsible for data on asteroids, comets, small planetary satellites, meteors, and dust, as well as laboratory spectra of
ices, minerals, and meteorites.
