A multidisciplinary team of experts from industry and academia are developing a roadmap for a European Sample Curation Facility, designed to curate precious samples returned from Solar System exploration missions to asteroids, Mars, the Moon and comets.


The project concentrates on six key themes:

  1. Curation of extraterrestrial materials;
  2. Planetary Protection;
  3. Infrastructure requirements;
  4. Instruments and methods for sample handling, preparation and analysis;
  5. Analogue samples as proxies for extraterrestrial materials;
  6. Technologies for sample reception and transport.
