Recommendation 31
NASA should establish an archive for planetary radar data either within
the PDS Small Bodies Node or separately. This archive should facilitate preservation and
usability of data at all processing levels by preservation of data processing procedures (or
software). Because of the unique situation of Arecibo Observatory, time is of the essence
to preserve the data and prevent irretrievable loss.
