NASA hosts two-part open science workshop series

NASA hosted a two-part virtual workshop series focused on open science. The first session covered open science principles and implementation practices, and the second session examined tools for open science.

NASA hosted the two-part virtual workshop series, announced on July 28, 2026.

The first session addressed open science principles and implementation practices. The second session focused on tools for open science.

The Planetary Data System, one of NASA's main archives for planetary science data, was presented.

NASA will share Artemis science with the global scientific community.

ISRO led discussions on advancing open data practices in May 2026.

The Artemis Accords have been signed by 71 countries.

NASA and the State Department joined seven other founding nations in forming the Artemis Accords in 2020.

The accord was established because interest in lunar activities was growing.

The sessions tie NASA's Artemis science sharing to open-science practices, tools and a planetary data archive.

ISRO's discussions show that open data practices are being discussed by more than one organization.

For lunar industry tracking, the 71-country support for the Artemis Accords and their response to growing lunar activity indicate international coordination around lunar activities.
