NASA Boosts Open Science, Data Sharing with Artemis Accords
NASA hosted a virtual workshop series from July 28 to September 8 to promote open scientific data sharing among the 71 countries signed to the Artemis Accords.
Why it matters
Open data sharing allows global scientists to collaborate and innovate faster, which accelerates the understanding of lunar processes and the groundwork for exploring Mars.
The big picture
This effort to coordinate data sharing aligns with the expansion of the Artemis Accords, including the Republic of Djibouti becoming the 72nd signatory on September 14.
The details
The Artemis Accords were established in 2020 by NASA, the State Department, and seven founding nations. Signatories commit to exploring peaceably, rendering aid, and preserving historically significant sites. The workshops included a session on open science implementation and another on tools for data-sharing frameworks.
