PDS Information
Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

Asteroid Spin Vectors

This is a comprehensive tabulation of asteroid spin vector determinations, compiled by Agnieszka Kryszczynska and based on the earlier compilation by Per Magnusson. This is the Oct. 21, 2007 version of the compilation, containing 863 spin vector determinations.

This data set has been superseded by the more recent compilation of spin vectors available in the Lightcurve-Derived Data collection.
