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 will befrom 16 Sep 2022 through 18-19 Oct 2022. Please allow yourself enough time to do a thorough review of the data sets.
The review period starts on 16 Sep 2022 and culminates in the review meeting held on 18-19 Oct 2022. The review meeting will be held online/virtually.
Meeting Documents:
For each data set, liens collected during the review as well as liens and corrections reported prior to the review are gathered into list(s). These final liens will be posted in the table below after the review.
Any notes and/or presentations should be sent to Ludmilla Kolokolova AND COPIED to Elizabeth Warner.

To browse the data, use the links below. Links to download each of the data sets are available on the individual data set pages. The data sets listed are available to reviewers via a username and password that will be distributed with the meeting information.
The most recent release of the New Horizons spice files at NAIF may help you with your review of the data. The New Horizons SOC has provided additional unreleased spice files to further help your review of the data
The lead reviewer and backup reviewer are indicated after each data set.
All data sets are presented in either PDS3 or PDS4 data structure (with some additional support files for the review).
Some comments on differences between this and the previous release are here:
