The Astromaterials Data System (Astromat) is NASA’s designated archive for laboratory analytical data acquired on samples collected as part of past, present, and future NASA missions and curated by the Astromaterials Acquisition and Curation Office, part of the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Division (ARES) of NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
Astromat’s data infrastructure supports comprehensive data curation services from data acquisition; to data curation; to synthesis of data for advanced data analysis and use in AI/ML applications. Astromat systems feature machine-and human actionable interfaces.
Astromat actively collaborates and partners with the astromaterials research community, missions, research projects and infrastructure providers nationally and internationally. Astromat is a Regular Member of the World Data System (WDS), a global community dedicated to advancing open and reliable access to scientific data. As a member, we share WDS’s commitment to equitable data access, long-term stewardship, adherence to available standards, and improving the ways researchers discover and use data.
Astromat is funded by NASA’s Planetary Sciences Division, Planetary Data Ecosystem.
