Astromaterials Data System Sept. 2023 Update
The Astromaterials Data System Sept. 2023 Update is now available. Subscribe to our Astromaterials Data System Community mailing list here!
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.

Participate!
ExMAG’s Facilities & Informatics Subcommittee is establishing a Working Group on Astromaterials Data Management to provide feedback and advice to Astromat and support Astromat with the development of community-agreed-upon standards. If you are interested in participating, please email Pierre Haenecour. Feel free to contact the Astromat Team with any other questions.
Astromaterials Data System Town Hall at MetSoc 2023
The Astromaterials Data System hosted a Town Hall at the 86th annual meeting of The Meteoritical Society at UCLA on August 15, 2023. We had a great turnout in person and online to hear about the upcoming developments for our system and collaborations. Feel free to reach out with any feedback or questions at info@astromat.org
