How to review the data

The review period will be April 27 through May 25, 2006. Please allow yourself enough time to do a thorough review of the data sets. Follow the step-by-step Review Instructions to insure a complete review of the data. We suggest you read through these instructions at the beginning of the review period and assess how much time will be needed so you can plan accordingly.

The Review Meeting

The 2006 Asteroid Dataset Review culminates in a review meeting held on May 25, 2006 at the Planetary Science Institute (PSI). The review meeting will last for the full day, and lunch will be brought in. Here the provisional agenda for the meeting.

PSI is located at 1700 E. Fort Lowell, a couple miles north of the University campus. However, the review will be held in PSI's West Wing, at 1650 E. Fort Lowell and within easy walking distance of our main building. Be sure to print out this map (with directions) and bring it when you travel. Parking is available at both locations. For more information on how to get there and where to stay while in Tucson, you can contact Chris Holmberg, phone (520)622-6300, email chris@psi.edu .
