The PDS Small Bodies Node is a discipline node of the Planetary Data System (PDS) charged with archiving data concerning comets, asteroids, and interplanetary dust. The PDS archive is a "deep archive," intended to contain sufficient documentation and ancillary data for future scientists to interpret and use the data long after the original scientists or teams are no longer available to help. It is also intended to provide useful data to researchers in a convenient way at the present time. In reviewing the data you should keep in mind these two complementary goals of preserving the data in a way useable to future generations and making the data easily accessible to current researchers.
The review period will be 07 May - 06 June 2007, and the review meeting will be held on 6th and 7th June 2007, at the SouthWest Research Institute, Boulder. (Here's the agenda.) 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 Spring 2007 New Horizons Dataset Review starts on 07 May 2007 and culminates in the review meeting held on 06 June 2007, at the SouthWest Research Institute, Boulder.
Meeting Notes:
Presentations will be posted below as they are received (either in advance or during the meeting).
For each data set, liens collected during the review as well as liens and corrections reported prior to the review are gathered into one list. These data set lists will be available via the "liens" links below shortly after the review meeting. You will also be able to see the complete list of submitted liens and notes in this directory.
To browse the data, use the links below. Links to download each of the data sets are available on the individual data set pages. If you would prefer to receive CDs or DVDs of any or all of the data, please contact the meeting organizers as soon as possible.
The lead reviewer and backup reviewer are indicated after each data set.
All data sets are presented in a PDS volume structure (with some additional support files for the review).
