Astromaterials

The Johnson Space Center is NASA's center of excellence for astromaterials—or materials from space. Scientists at JSC collect and study samples from the Moon, meteorites from Antarctica, and cosmic dust from the Earth's stratosphere.

Future missions are being planned to collect new samples of astromaterials. Once collected, solar wind particles, comet dust, and rocks from asteroids and Mars will be returned to JSC for curation.
