New Feature! Search for Astromat Data by Sample Name

Use Astromat’s new ‘Sample Lookup’ feature to access a page with all data available and links to external data for the sample. You can also use the updated Astromat Search application to filter a query by specific sample name(s).

Astromaterials Data Archive (ADA)

The Astromaterials Data Archive is now the primary NASA-sponsored archive for returned samples (see NASA’s Planetary Science Division’s Information and Data Management Policy Supplement to SPD-41A). Astromat is currently upgrading the ADA to accommodate the entire spectrum of laboratory analytical data. Astromat will continue to inform the community about progress via this mailing list, the ARES Newsletter, and the ExMAG community.
