Welcome to the Small Bodies Node
of the NASA Planetary Data System

The Planetary Data System (PDS) is a distributed archive of solar system data prepared in a standard format for use primarily by astronomical observers and mission planners, as well as educators and students. The Small Bodies Node (SBN) specializes in data concerning asteroids, comets and interplanetary dust.

For the data to prepare NASA ROSES (including Data Analysis Programs, DAP) proposals see our special website

 Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences - 2009(ROSES-2009) is available now at NASA NSPIRES website
