THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE A LARGE COLLECTION OF REFLECTANCE SPECTRA AND ANCILLARY DATA OF WELL-CHARACTERIZED GEOLOGIC MATERIALS TO THE PLANETARY COMMUNITY. THESE SPECTRA ARE NEEDED FOR SCIENTISTS ANALYZING CRISM DATA OF MARS M3 DATA OF THE MOON DAWN VIR DATA OF VESTA AND CERES VIMS DATA OF SATURN S MOONS AND THE OSIRIS-REX OVIRS DATA OF ASTEROID BENNU AS WELL AS FOR SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF OTHER PLANETARY BODIES. A LARGE COLLECTION OF SPECTRAL DATA FILES (AT LEAST 1000) CONTAINING REFLECTANCE SPECTRA AND MULTIPLE ANCILLARY DATA PRODUCTS OF MINERALS MIXTURES AND NATURAL SAMPLES FROM THE BISHOP COLLECTION WILL BE PROCESSED AND POSTED FOR COMMUNITY USE AT THE NASA PLANETARY DATA SYSTEM (PDS) AND CRISM ANALYSIS TOOL (CAT) ARCHIVES. THE PDS IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE FOR ALL USERS AND THE DATA WILL BE ARCHIVED WITH ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION FOR USING THE DATA AS WELL AS THE ANCILLARY COMPOSITIONAL INFORMATION AND ADDITIONAL SPECTRAL FILES FOR EACH SAMPLE. THE CAT IS ALSO FREELY AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD AND USE WITH ENVI FOR ANY INTERESTED USER FOR PLANETARY SPECTROSCOPY STUDIES. LABORATORY SPECTRAL DATA FROM THE BISHOP LIBRARY WILL BE SELECTED FOR WELL-CHARACTERIZED SAMPLES THAT WILL BE USEFUL FOR INTERPRETING SPECTRAL DATA OF PLANETARY BODIES. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT AND QUALITY OF LABORATORY SPECTRAL DATA AVAILABLE FOR PLANETARY SCIENCE RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION.
