These developments point to exciting planetary science returns in the coming decade(s). We intend to highlight the science these and other current and future missions will accomplish, and preparatory science being done in support of them (including field analog studies, lab/experimental work, and theoretical investigations). Our session will provide an opportunity for oral presentations from a broad range of exciting topics and the inclusion of presentations on some of the latest breaking NASA science mission results.

The V20 products are archived for historical purposes and are based on version 1 of the OLA DTA products. V21 products are the best and final products and should be used for scientific analysis. V21 products are based on version 2 "_v2" OLA products. These data are available at: https://pds.nasa.gov/datasearch/subscription-service/SS-20240528.shtml or more directly at https://arcnav.psi.edu/urn:nasa:pds:orex.ola To access all data archived in PDS: https://pds.nasa.gov/ 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 [NASA] PDS: APERIODIC PDS DATA RELEASES IN 2024.05 In May 2024, PDS ingested and made available the following data, none of which were regularly released with an ongoing mission: - 2024.05.31 Lucy LORRI Didymos Raw and Partially Processed data - 2024.05.30 Voyager 1 Restored Cruise Images of Uranus and Neptune - 2024.05.30 CLASSE/SwRI Charon Exospheric Simulation Data - 2024.05.30 New Horizons Bolometric Hemispherical Albedo Map of Pluto - 2024.05.28 Chandrayaan-1 Orbiter Moon Mineralogy Mapper Data - 2024.05.22 Radio Science Documentation - 2024.05.17 Mars Express Aspera-3 Flux DDR Ion Mass Analyzer - 2024.05.17 Mars Express Aspera-3 Moments DDR Ion Mass Analyzer - 2024.05.17 Pioneer Venus Orbiter Retarding Potential Analyzer Data - 2024.04.01 MSL ChemCam Passive Surface Spectra To access those data: https://pds.nasa.gov/datasearch/subscription-service/SS-20240531b.shtml To access all data archived in PDS: https://pds.nasa.gov 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 [NASA] PDS: MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER DATA RELEASE 69 The NASA Planetary Data System announces Release 69 of data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). This release contains raw, calibrated, and derived data products nominally covering the time period August 9 through November 8, 2023. Some instrument teams are delivering more recent data. The data are archived at various PDS nodes. - CRISM, SHARAD, and Radio Science data at the Geosciences Node - HiRISE, CTX, and MARCI data at the Cartography and Imaging Sciences Node - MCS data at the Atmospheres Node - SPICE data at the NAIF Node The data may be accessed at https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/mro/ For a view centered on this release https://pds.nasa.gov/datasearch/subscription-service/SS-20240531.shtml To access the latest PDS Data Releases, please visit the following link: https://pds.nasa.gov/datasearch/subscription-service/SS-Release.shtml All available PDS data may be found at: https://pds.nasa.gov/datasearch/data-search/ For further information, see the PDS Home Page: https://pds.nasa.gov/ MRO data releases occur every three months. The next release is scheduled for August 30, 2024. 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 PLANETARY MEETING CALENDAR ADDITIONS Note: Many face-to-face meetings going forward will have online components.
