We have added two new Experiment pages to OSDR! These experiments include legacy botany data from the Apollo missions! :rocket: @PlantAWG In the coming months expect to see datasets (OSD’s) associated with these experiments to become public :smiley: Huge thanks to LSDA archivists/team Brenna Wheeler, Rachel Shoop, Sara Jorgensen and Robert Beaton for all of their incredible help! We are really excited about this ongoing collaborative project :seedling:

Germfree Plant and Tissue Culture Development and Lunar Challenge Investigations (OS-943)

Activation Analyses of Plants and Tissue Culture Cells Treated with Lunar and Terrestrial Materials (OS-944)

The second OSD for this Apollo legacy data is now public (OSD-856). The next dataset will be some elemental analysis from a variety of lunar soil challenges (actual lunar soil, simulated lunar soil and control). :slight_smile: @PlantAWG

Just released OSD-883: Analysis of Vegetable Seedlings Grown in Contact with Apollo 14 Lunar Surface Fines ! We have a few OSD’s worth of this type of analysis under curation. Excited to get them out into the world soon :slight_smile:
