Announcement of the selected proposals for the 3rd Ryugu Sample AO

In February 2023, ASRG called for proposals worldwide for the third Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for the Ryugu sample. We received 32 notices of intent, and 23 research proposals from 10 different countries. After careful deliberation, the Ryugu Sample AO Panel selected 17 proposals for adoption, and allocated 23 pristine samples for distribution. ASRG will now prepare the samples for distribution to the Principal Investigator of each of the successful proposals.
