Welcome to the PDS Small Bodies Node
The Small Bodies Node (SBN), a part of NASA's Planetary Data System, specializes in the archiving, cataloging, and distributing of scientific data sets relevant to asteroids, comets and interplanetary dust.
More specifically, SBN seeks to archive data from:
- space missions (primarily NASA, but also from other national agencies) that target small bodies or that have collected small bodies data
- laboratory and ground-based data collected in support of small bodies missions as well as contributed ground-based observations
- collected information about small bodies from published literature
NASA missions are obligated to archive their data within PDS so most of the data is related to and in support of NASA missions. Ground-based observers are not required to archive their data (because they are often funded from non-NASA/public sources) but are welcome to contribute their data.
Data Analysis Proposals Support
Proposers please note: If you are planning to use PDS data for your ROSES data analysis proposal (e.g., Discovery Data Analysis Program, Cassini Data Analysis, Lunar Data Analysis, etc), please note the archive status indicated on the top of each dataset webpage. A status of "archived" or "locally archived" indicates the data are in their final form, while "certified" indicates there are minor editing corrections still to be made. Data sets with other status levels may be either in active development, or considered to have some significant deficiency. Proposers are urged to consult the ROSES solicitation and the appendix for the Program Element to which they are proposing for the specific guidelines on the use of spacecraft data in general and data sets with known issues in particular.

Data Release Schedule
The PDS Data Release Calendar has the proposed dates of when mission data provided to the SBN for archiving will be publicly available. Additionally, SBN maintains a ground-based and R&A data release schedule.
