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 will be preceded by the SBN Advisory Council Meeting, and the review meeting will be held on 4 - 5 December 2008, in the Computer and Space Sciences building of the University of Maryland, College Park, MD. (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 review meeting will be held on 4 - 5 December 2008, at the University of Maryland, College Park. The review meeting will be held in the Computer and Space Sciences Building (#224), in room 2316.
Meeting Notes:
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.
All data sets are presented in a PDS volume structure (with some additional support files for the review).
