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.
All reviewers should read the Minimum Required Feedback. Reviewers who are new to PDS should also consult How to Approach a PDS3 Data Set or PDS4 Data Set.
The review period starts on Mar 2021 and culminates in the review meeting held on 15 April 2021. The review meeting will be held online/virtually.
